Summary
Francesca Bridgerton is a concert pianist who has not played in eight months. Not since her daughter was born still, and the silence moved in where the music used to be.
Michaela Stirling is a painter whose work hangs in the Tate Modern and whose life has been falling apart in public since her fiancée died of a brain aneurysm two years ago. She is brilliant, reckless, and has earned every inch of her reputation as the art world’s favourite disaster.
They meet at a gallery opening and something happens that neither of them can name.

Summary
If she were braver, maybe, Francesca would tell her the truth: I think I want to stay over tonight but also maybe forever. But Francesca says nothing because a love confession after sex is ridiculous, even for her.

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.

Summary
Francesca expected the party Eloise dragged her to to be too loud, and too full of lingering stares from men.
She didn't expect, however, to become so enraptured by a woman."Oh! Yes. I am- alright, that is, yes." Francesca managed as she felt a flush begin to paint her cheeks as that famed smile began to creep its way back onto the other woman's face.
"I don't think I've seen you around before," the woman said with a tilt of her head. "I surely would have remembered if I had."

Summary
“Why are you telling your students we’re married?” she asked.
No preamble.
Carol blinked, folding her arms loosely. A nervous laugh escaped her. “Because we ARE married.”
“Separated,” Maria corrected immediately.
