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
She’d said, “We have the rest of our lives to do all of this,” which sounded very poetic and romantic in the moment, and she’d even meant it at the time.
But apparently a week was enough of a fucking lifetime because if Greta didn’t get to see what Carson Shaw was keeping in their pants she was going to fucking melt into the floor.
