Summary
Francesca character analysis type of story
“Why did you leave me?”
Francesca had long thought of confronting Michaela about it. She had imagined countless scenarios of the fight that would make her scream louder than she had ever allowed her voice to go.
They all contained explosive fights, venomous words, and undying bitterness. A fire she had fed with ire and resentment, at last unleashed.
They were nothing like what she had enabled just now. Her nose was red, and cold. Her boots were wet. Her heart burned with the desire to understand. For a resolution. To be good enough to know Michaela, to be worthy enough to speak the language of her perfectly guarded heart, and even more impassable mind.

Francesca is sent away to Scotland to cure her melancholia.

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 livetogetherdiealone

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.
