A Replacement

It was strange how Penelope knew so many random facts about these strangers she either hadn't met or had barely interacted with. Her research had helped more than she thought.

She would definitely need that information moving forward. She would probably meet Harry sooner or later and would have to act like she had known him for over a decade. That would be strange.

There hadn't been any issues interacting with her coworkers so far, which was comforting, but her counterpart hadn't known them nearly as long. Their relationships with each other were more superficial.

Harry was Roman's best male friend. Even before he started dating Penelope, the two of them had interacted on at least a passing level because the Crosses and Logans were neighbors.

It would be harder to pretend around him but, hey, she had successfully fooled Roman already and he was the person who spent the most time with her. She was probably worrying for nothing.
