Bridgerton Season 3: Sneak peek reveals romantic moment between Penelope and Colin

Although Bridgerton season 3 will not be airing on Netflix until May 16, fans received a most glorious gift with the release of a special clip from the upcoming season. In the clip released on Twitter from the official Bridgerton account, Penelope stares dreamily into Colin's eyes, seemingly noticing for the first time their unique and alluring hue.

Colin returns the same longing and rather romantic gaze before they are distracted and the moment ceases. But this moment is pivotal for several reasons, one of which hints at Penelope having suitors.

As Penelope explains how beautiful his eyes are, she corrects the situation stating that is something she would say to a suitor. Is it possible she has men asking for her hand in marriage this season?

Is it possible some women desire Colin as well? Penelope coming out of her shell and freeing herself from her wallflower state isn't that unbelievable, considering the events in the season 2 finale.

Bridgerton season 2 finale: What happened to Penelope and Colin?

She not only lost her best friend due to her secrets being unveiled but she also learned, via eavesdropping, that Colin only saw her as a dear friend. Her response, fleeing the party in tears, might lead her to make some changes.

For one thing, she is digging her heels even deeper in the sand by refusing to stop writing as Lady Whistledown, regardless of the consequences. But we're suspecting that while we do not question her deep love and affection for Colin, she may be willing to put herself out there to see which male suitors will steal her heart.

For the longest time practically everyone, even Penelope's own sisters, wrote her off. It may be time for her to steal the spotlight and perhaps become the Diamond of the First Water.
