    Summary

    "Are we really not talking about the kiss?" Francesca asked suddenly.

    Michaela reeled, visibly caught off guard. Her hand tightened around her glass. "I thought we decided to be friends," she said slowly.

    "We did. We are."

    "Do you kiss your friends?"

    Francesca looked down at the table. "No."

    "Me either," Michaela said, breathing out a laugh.

    "I've never wanted to," Francesca said quietly. "Until now."

    OR

    Summary

    "Do you wish to dance with her, or not?" Violet asked Francesca, her expression remaining indecipherable. Eloise, from the other side of the room reading the new Whistledown issue, gave her a thumbs up without even looking away from the piece of paper.

    The Masquerade Ball was to begin that night, and they only had a few more hours of daylight if Francesca continued with this.

    But this was dancing with the love of her life they were talking about. Tonight was an opportunity they would only ever get once in a blue moon. Francesca wanted to go.

    Violet Bridgerton, her always observant mother, already knew of Francesca's answer.

    "I wish to go with Michaela."
