    Summary

    Francesca likes certainty. She has a husband, a clear plan for her future, and a new assistant position working for the unpredictable Michaela Stirling—an opportunity John insists is perfect for her and they’ll get along.
    The problem starts during the interview.
    Michaela seems unconvinced by her. Unconvinced by her commitment, her ambition, or her ability to last in the role at all. Determined to prove her wrong, Francesca accepts the job anyway.
    What begins as professional stubbornness quickly becomes something far more complicated.
    Because Michaela is impossible to pin down: warm one moment, distant ice the next, carrying pieces of herself she never willingly explains. As work takes them across cities and countries, Francesca finds herself becoming increasingly invested in a woman she cannot understand—and increasingly unsure why Michaela’s opinion matters so much.

    With old relationships lingering, long-buried secrets beginning to surface, and a future that suddenly feels far less certain than it once did, Francesca is forced to confront a question she’s spent her whole life avoiding:

    What happens when the assistant role you’ve dedicated yourself to is no longer the role you want?

    Summary

    Michaela was wearing the red dress. The same one from that night, clinging to every curve exactly the way Francesca remembered. Francesca's entire body went rigid. She couldn't do anything but remember the way it had felt under her palms.

    The freeze lasted seconds, but it was enough. Michaela's expression shifted. "So you do remember."

    She tried to deny it but her voice wouldn't work.

    Michaela pushed off the counter. "I wasn't sure. At the apartment viewing, you looked at me like you didn't know me at all. So I thought maybe you had forgotten."

    "I—I don't know what you're—"

    "Don't. Don't do that. You just froze the second you saw me in this." Michaela gestured to the dress.

    She wanted to flee back to her room like she'd fled that bathroom a year ago. "We were drunk. It doesn't—" Francesca said desperately.

    "Doesn't matter? I think it does, Francesca. Otherwise you wouldn't have spent the past week avoiding looking at me."

    "I have a boyfriend, I'm with John."

    "I know. Believe me, I know."

    OR: The Cheating College Fic. (Fran is dating John except she kissed Michaela one year ago. She was drunk, plus she's straight so it doesn't count right?)
