21. Scott and Penny – Saw
The first time he saw something, Scott shook his head in disbelief. Penelope and…Gordon? He shook his head again. No. No way. Penelope and Gordon? The eternally fashionable with the eternally fashionless?
The second time he saw something, Scott looked a little closer. The way their hands lingered over each other's fingers. The way they held each other's gazes for just that little bit longer. Clearly they saw something he couldn't.
The third time he saw something, he knew. The determination in his brother's eyes as he worked to lever the fallen material from Penelope's legs. The look of sheer trust in her blue eyes. And the relief on both of their faces when she was freed, unscathed.
Scott saw it then. Oh, Scott saw it then.
