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.

Summary
Francesca has a hunch, silence is not an option when Michaela Stirling is around. "Have you seen Miss Stirling tonight? Has she gone to bed already?"
"Did Miss Stirling not inform you?" The maid wondered.
"Of what?" She mumbles.
"She has packed her belongings and left." For a moment, the world stills. The candlelight, the soft rustle of the maid’s apron—everything suspends. Francesca cannot move. She cannot think. She can only feel the now familiar, suffocating sense of loss settle over her again. Michael too, must think something is broken in her.
On the far edge of the ton, Michaela sits rigidly in her carriage, watching the night sky blur past the window. She wonders whether John is there watching over her. Grieving is certainly draining, but Michaela cannot help but be consumed by guilt. Guilt for leaving Francesca alone despite her promise to stay in Mayfair. But deeper still, guilt for the quiet flutter she felt when Francesca’s hand touched hers in the parlor. If fleeing to the farthest corner of the earth is what it takes to silence her own wicked mind, then she will flee. Even if it means breaking her promise.

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!Bookmarked by RedEiry

Summary
“Show you?” Michaela asked.
“Well, what I mean is to give me some instructions…” Francesca swirled her drink.“Maybe a written step by step guide?”
“You think you can solve this methodically like learning to play a new song but really, it’s more like solving a jigsaw.”
“Michaela, I am not asking.” A foreboding darkness swept across Francesca’s features that sent chills down Michaela’s back. “I have already tried so much to no avail. I need you to guide me.”After a night of drinking and an embarrassing confession, Francesca makes Michaela coach her through her first pinnacle.
