    Summary

    “You have driven me to insanity, Francesca.” She accuses in the softest version of a harsh tone that anyone could direct at her. It is amazing the way it makes her hesitate, the relief the words bring to her are unfair, but they settle in her bones anyway.

    “I-” She snaps her mouth shut, feeling the horrible urge to stutter. “What do you mean?” She manages after a moment and feels the wild look in Michaela’s eyes travel through her abruptly and settle in her lower stomach.

    Her eyes are always so intense and beautiful, a distracting thing for Francesca. “What do I mean!?” Michaela is still dripping water as she advances forward and Francesca has the urge to step back but there isn’t much space for her to escape too, so instead she stands still as Michaela gets closer. She smells like rain and a bit of firewood today. “I cannot sleep.” Francesca feels herself stuttering out a breath and then maybe stop breathing entirely. “If you are not next to me, I cannot sleep. I cannot stay away from you and yet if I am near you, it is agony to not be touching you. So, I stay away and instead I cannot sleep.” Michaela is much closer to her now, shivering.

    Summary

    Two years after losing her husband, Francesca is ready to move forward, even if it means settling for a practical marriage.
    She does not expect Michaela Stirling to return.
    Summoned back to London by the Queen herself to inherit the Kilmartin estate, Michaela is forced to face the one person she has spent the last 2 years trying to forget.
    This is my take on what Season 5 might look like. I simply could not wait a year and a half to see how the story goes, so I decided to write a version of it myself in the meantime and one of the reasons i decided to write this story is because i kept imagining, a scene that will be at the end of chapter 7, over and over again in my head with a certain song playing in the background and i had to write a full story around it so please enjoy!

    Summary

    Michaela Stirling returns from four years in India to find the life she fled exactly where she left it, John's ghost in every corridor, and Francesca at the top of the stairs.

    She had told herself the distance had taught her restraint. That she could stand in the same room as Francesca Bridgerton and call herself only a friend. That four years and an ocean were enough to make loving someone bearable.

    She had been wrong on all counts.

    Or

    michaela and francesca spend several chapters inventing new ways to avoid admitting the obvious.
