When He Was Wicked, chapter two
“She often wondered if part of her attraction to John had been the simple fact that he removed her from the chaos that was so often the Bridgerton household. Not that she didn’t love him; she did. She adored him with every last breath in her body. He was her kindred spirit, so like her in so many ways. But it had, in a strange sort of fashion, been a relief to exit her mother’s home, to escape to a more serene existence with John, whose sense of humor was precisely like hers. He understood her, he anticipated her. He completed her. It has been the oddest sensation when she’d met him, almost as if she were a jagged puzzle piece finally finding its mate. Their first meeting hadn’t been one of overwhelming love or passion, but rather filled with the most bizarre sense that she’d finally found the one person with whom she could completely be herself.“
We met Francesca in the book when she’d been married to John for two years already. In the show, their story has only begun. I personally won’t make any assumptions how Francesca’s and John’s love will evolve in the show untill I see it. Love has many ways of representing itself. I’m confident Francesca’s season will be heartbreaking and beautiful!
