    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

    “I do not know you.”

    “Yet I should like to know you.”

    Francesca finds that her eyes have already drifted back to her left, back towards Michaela.

    “I—” She feels her cheeks paint pink, “Well you should—” She coughs. “Not.”

    Michaela just smiles, nonplussed, “I fear your repellant disposition is having the opposite effect, Miss Bridgerton.”

    Francesca cheeks redden even further as she rolls her eyes, looking away again, “I told you to—”

    “Tell me then, Francesca..” Michaela purrs, turning towards Francesca and stepping closer. Francesca’s neck jerks right back to her at the sound of her voice. Her heels click once, twice. And she teases a small pout, a dangerous gesture indeed, “What mountains must I move to earn favor with you?”

    Francesca’s eyes unconsciously fall to Michaela’s lips for a half-second.

    And when she looks back up, Michaela's pout transforms into that same damned enigmatic smile.

    Holding her gaze steady, seemingly unaffected, Francesca finally suggests,

    “Perhaps you can start with Everest.”

    Or, Queen Charlotte decides to spice up this year’s season by adding a jewel to her collection of diamonds.

    Summary

    “Your eyes are really fucking blue.”

    Leah blinked at her, head tilting and brow furrowing, “They made me wear contacts to hide it in the interviews.”

    “Huh.” Fatin said, continuing to stare.

    XXX

    Since winning the Hunger Games, Fatin has spent the last couple of years drowning out her traumas by indulging in vices whilst trying to do her best as a mentor for her District's tributes and looking out for her handful of friends.

    She has no interest in love, but the most recent Victor from District 12 is doing her utmost to change that without even trying - that's not even to add that the rebellion is growing in strength and the spectacle of the 100th Annual Hunger Games is looming in the distance.

    Summary

    Leah focused on the pages in front of her. She did her best to ignore the girl beside her. And again, maybe she had said she was going to try to make some friends. But, Fatin Jadmani? It just didn’t make sense in her brain. What would they talk about? What would they do? Would they even like the same things? Fatin was too…too…

     

    “And so, our first assignment of the year, really not even much of an assignment,” Galanis announced, pointing toward the syllabus. “You will be writing words of affirmation to one of your classmates. One compliment or encouragement to your table partner at least once a week.”

    Shit.
