sleepy cookie

francesca is known to her family and the viewers as being almost perfect, she’s composed and neat and everything that’s expected of a woman in her society, sure she’s from an extremely privileged family, but by all accounts she’s… boring, calm and collected, chosing a good but not very interesting husband within the expected rank, not a big role in her family, not the most or least loved, she’s just… there, she has trouble understanding people but does well enough, doesn’t raise her voice or argue much even when she disagrees

but then michaela enters her life and that composure is derailed, michaela and francesca have had two scenes together and we’ve already seen frannie do things we’re not used to, she has to gulp and catch her breath and really work to remain in control, this just happens when they exchange two sentences together, literally

imagine what will happen when michaela touches her, says something she’s not supposed to say, comes a little too close, the neat, composed perfect child will unravel, she will get angry, upset, she’ll blush and stutter and scream and lose control
