there's nothing wrong with wanting the love of your life to come save you! it doesn't make you weak to do so! it's OKAY to want that, especially in a romance story. having your man come save you is sexy and romantic! like why would they have Penelope say this????
in the book, Colin saves Pen by announcing to the Ton about LW, and Pen found that incredibly romantic and sweet. What's wrong with that? now they had her standing all alone up there and her husband alllllll the way on the other end of the ballroom (he's not even in the first row of guests), doesn't even greet her right after her speech?? so stupid
The problem with having Pen run after Colin, pursue him, chase after him, beg for his love, ask him to dance at her own damn wedding is that it's pathetic. Yes, it's pathetic because she's been pining after him all this time, and it was time for Colin to be in the driver's seat of this relationship. It's vital for their love story that he finally takes INITIATIVE and pursue HER, even after marriage, even when he is angry with her.
The way she has to continue to run after him, I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. Because now that we know this is how Colin handles conflict - he will ice her out and force her to run after him - she's going to be dealing with this forever and that's sad. That isn't how it should be.
