Penny felt the first feeling of happiness in this moment when he promised to visit and she was in his arms. She felt his lips upon her forehead and she smiled, but it would fade as he asked if she was ready. "Yes I am," she weakly smiled at his joke. "I still promise not to ruin your reputation."
She kissed his lips for one last time, as after she took the potion she would appear to be Percy as well and no doubt it would just make a kiss awkward. As she pulled back she took the flask and looked at the contents. "Well here goes nothing," she said before taking a sip of the potion and she had to admit it didn't taste as bad as she had expected.
