Having someone to love and being loved back can be both the best and worst thing to happen in a person's life. The best because during the time spent together will provide the happiest memories and the worst because when you have your heart broken is gonna hurt more than a bullet to the chest.

A hole in the heart is like broken glass: you can try to glue it back together in many different ways, however, it is never gonna be the same. Leonard knew and believed that was true, but he wasn't gonna let Penny go without trying. That problem was making his sleep even harder. He was a having a recurrent dream in which Sheldon suggested the best idea for Penny to forget his betrayal was her to kiss other guy and then she and Sheldon just made out in front of Leonard. It was driving him crazy.

Penny wasn't very happy herself. She did want Leonard back, she wanted them to start their married life but nothing seemed to be working towards their happiness. Unfortunately, her husband was feeling like that as well and decided to contact a divorce lawyer. He didn't say it was his final decision, but even considering that possibility was very dangerous for the future and success of the marriage.

She invited Amy and Bernadette over to have a talk and get some different opinions. They made her realize how much he had changed since they met. Leonard was definitely cockier and most self assured. But also, if he was with her is because he loves not because she is the only option he had. She really liked that point of view and when Amy said Penny shouldn't let a moment of weakness ruin the relationship was also true; the betrayal wasn't gonna be forgotten but it wasn't worth losing Leonard for that. She really wanted them to get over that sad chapter and start to live as a true happily married couple.

...

- Leonard, are you there? - Penny knocked on his apartment door.

- Yes, come in.

- I really want us to talk.

They both sit on the couch and Penny takes the lead in the conversation.

- Look, I'm really sorry I told you I was okay with everything before the wedding. I shouldn't have done that, but I didn't know what to say or do.

- I know, and I can't apologize enough. I wish I knew what to tell you now.

After moments of talk and silence, they've reached a decision: since Leonard was going to work side by side with the girl everyday, if Penny met her, maybe she would accept the reality a little bit easier. Leonard went ahead and talked with Mandy about his problem; he didn't get the result he expected but learned something even more important.

- Hi Mandy.

- Hi Leonard.

- Do you mind if I seat?

- No, not at all.

- So, I wanted to talk about you about what happened in the boat

- I'm not sure I follow.

- We kissed? - For a second his pride was hurt due to Mandy's lack of memory.

- Oh no. Did I sleep with you, too? - She said with a bit of terror in her voice.

- No. We just kissed.

- Thank God. Lucky me! - Now Leonard was pissed, but that wasn't his focus.

- Listen, the reason I'm here is I told my wife about the kiss because I wanted to start the marriage with no secrets and since we work together, she would feel better if she knew you aren't a threat or something like that.

Mandy hysterically laughed and stopped when she realized Leonard was actually being serious.

- You know, it was just a kiss. Are you sure that's the only reason you told her? To me, seems like you're trying to sabotage the relationship.

Leonard had some sort of enlightenment in that moment and realized Mandy was right. He called Penny immediately:

- Hi, it's me. Listen, I've figure some things out and I really want us to talk again. Dinner tonight?

- Sure. See you later. Bye.

…

- So, here is the thing: I never believed I deserved a woman like you because you are so beautiful. I mean, you can have any guy you want and yet, somehow, here we are together. I've been thinking about and you were right; I was trying to sabotage our wedding. After all this years we've been together, a day doesn't go by without me thinking that you'll find someone better than me. I really don't think I deserve you.

- Well, that's just lame! But, I understand you and I must confess I know how you feel. You spend so much time worrying about you not deserving me; the truth is, I wonder the same. I'm always scared you'll leave me for someone more like you. And I guess my overreaction was my way of sabotaging our wedding.

- So let's just be together. Leave all the scare behind.

- That sounds like a good plan.

Leonard got on his knees and took Penny's hand.

- Penny Hofstadter, will you stay married to me?

- Absolutely.

They kissed and went to the bedroom, in order to finally officiate their wedding.

…

In the morning after, the couple received a wedding gift from Sheldon: a weekend way in San Francisco. The fact Sheldon included himself on the trip wasn't ideal but Penny and Leonard would figure something out soon enough.

All the problems seemed to be faded away for the couple, but unfortunately the same couldn't be said about Bernadette. She was freaking out because she knew about Leonard and Mandy since his return and when Penny finds out, things weren't going to be pretty. Will their friendship survive this hit? And what Amy has to say about the subject?

The couple will have a couple of days of just sun and shine, but when Leonard receives a call back from the divorce lawyer, new problems will rise in the Hofstadter's new life. Penny won't be satisfied to learn her husband was ready to give up so easily on them.
