    Summary

    “He was her husband, but you are not her wife,” Cressida says sharply.

    Francesca watches a spider slowly creeping down the windowpane, listening to the weighted silence below.

    “I think you ought to go. I've just remembered I've got things to do,” Michaela eventually says, tone cold and stiff.

    (or: Francesca's POV, Fran/Michaela centric, an exploration of grief, love, apathy and blurred lines between friendship & more)

    Summary

    Michaela, whilst grieving and overwhelmed with the feelings blossoming in her chest for her cousin's widow, does the only thing she can think to do when asked so sweetly to stay, she flees.

    But now, after two years of running, she has returned to London, determined to make amends with the woman she has managed to convince herself she cannot fall in love with, under any circumstances.

    Yet her chosen path is not an easy one, for Francesca Stirling, now seething with rage, grief, and a furious current of feelings she neither understands nor can explain, is just as determined to discover the very reason for Michaela's flight in the first place, a reason Michaela is intent on keeping to herself.

    John dies on a quiet Tuesday, unmarried and childless. Michaela can't fathom allowing everything she knows and loves to pass to a distant heir, so in one last effort to keep hold of her life, as well as the estate, Michaela decides to take a detour through John's wardrobe before heading into Mayfair as the Earl himself, hoping that one eligible, but not so marriage-minded lady takes an interest in her unusual offer.
