Do You Ever Knock?! For Penelope

do you ever knock

The many gentlemen stopping by to see Marina is overwhelming. At least Penelope can keep herself occupied by the puppy brought over as a token.

Bored, she got out of the sofa and took the puppy with her to walk along the corridor. The puppy looks like it needed to relief itself, so they walked into the front door. Once made it to foyer, she noticed another suitor rushing in without a knock. 

“Do you ever knock?” Penelope asked as the puppy was scared. Jeremy Colborne

---Jeremy really did not want to be here, doing this. His state of mind was not ready . . . and he had no interest. He cared little about her popularity and even less about courting her. Nothing against the young woman of course. He was sure she was lovely. But he needed to get back to his writing. His mind completely occupied with it and this entire situation was only causing his anxiousness to sky rocket. He hoped he could get in, give the flowers in his hand, and swiftly make an exit. While he did not do well in crowded rooms, in this particular instance . . . he knew that it could work in his favour.

---With that set in mind, he rushed into the house, mentally elsewhere to the point that he had just flung open the door and had not even noticed a young woman and her dog until she spoke. He turned around to face her, quickly snapping back into reality rather than being distracted with his own constructed reality in his head. "Apologies," he said, a small smile on his lips that faded merely a couple seconds after it formed. Suddenly distracted from his course, his eyes fell to the small animal. "What an adorable puppy," he stated, taking one step closer. "What is his or her name?"

She smiled as the gentleman apologized for his rushed entrance to her home. Maybe if she chat with him, he will forget about Marina. Colin clearly forgot about her, so it is only fair. 

“The puppy?” Penelope’s eyes lit up. “Pogo is such an adorable puppy. Very friendly.” She placed Pogo down as she curtsy to the suitor. “Welcome to our home. I’m Miss Penelope. However, I am taking Pogo out for a walk. Would you like to come along?” She gave her lady’s maid a nod to follow her. “I hope Pogo will cheer you up.”
