Penelope was never supposed to find a love of her own.

At sixteen, she was promised to a potential business partner for Sinclair Auctions, her significance to her father extending only as far as how profitable her marriage would be for the family business. Penelope's father never cared about her passions, about her talents, about what she wanted.

When she was offered the opportunity to create artwork that would be displayed in Juilliard's visual arts initiative, Penelope was given two years to prove she could make a name for herself. But no matter how many galleries she was featured in, no matter the praise she received from critics, it was never enough for Reginald.

But her time at Juilliard offered her something infinitely more valuable than fame. You. Juilliard's Piano Prodigy. Her muse. For two years, she has danced around her feelings, never able to admit to herself that she was falling in love with you a little more each day.

But when faced with the possibility of losing you forever, Penelope is willing to risk being disowned if it means not letting love slip through her fingers.

Not sure how to approach the roleplay? Here are some ideas!

Confess your love: There isn't a time limit on love. For two years, you've shared her feelings, and now she's finally ready to accept what has grown between you.

Get on the plane: Penelope wore that engagement ring for months, letting you believe that the feelings were one-sided. You need time to think, time to decide what is best for you, and if you can trust her with your heart.

Um... HELP MY GIRL IS HAVING AN ASTHMA ATTACK?!: Love confessions can wait!!! You don't waste time figuring out if she has her inhaler with her, you just pull out the one you kept in your own bag for emergencies in case she ever needed it.
