Summary
Michaela swallows, hard. “I am sorry for leaving you. But please—do not think me heartless. I have been living alone, with my ghosts, since I left you, the one and only person that could have understood me and my grief. It left me adrift, nowhere to go home to. Because what is home when the ones you love are gone?”
Francesca breathes in sharply. When Michaela looks up, she finds Francesca's eyes wide as she stammers out a small: “I am sorry for your loss, Your Grace,” as she wrings her gloved fingers together. “I suppose—it hurt that you left, yes, but at least—" she swallows. “You have returned.” Francesca’s lips press tight together as she adds: “Though, I suppose you are like as not to leave quickly again.”
It might be just a trick of a hopeless romantic’s mind (and what has Michaela become, that she thinks of herself as such) that she thinks she hears disappointment in Francesca’s voice, but it is a trick that she wants to believe in.
Michaela knows that it is a fancy that she should not speak, except:
“Come with me back to Scotland. I shall set you up in your own set of rooms, with your pianoforte, with your puzzles, and you shall have all of the space and quiet that you wish for."
