Summary
Cressida slammed the pints down onto the bar. She was vindictively pleased when beer sloshed up and sprayed over Eloise.
When she turned to Michaela, a smile tugged at her lips. “Your drink’s on the house.” And, without looking back at Eloise, she added coldly: “yours will be a shilling.”
Or: Cressida escapes on the way to Wales and becomes a barmaid

Summary
“Rule number one,” Francesca explained, “is the dress code. Normally, you could wear anything that was at least smart-casual. But this is the Proms, and this is the Royal Albert Hall. So we have to be smart.”
Michaela raised an eyebrow. “How smart are we talking?”
“Nothing too extravagant, it's not a wedding or anything. But for the love of god do not wear jeans.”
“And what if I do?”
“Don’t even joke. I’d simply have no option but to leave you outside and go in by myself.”
Michaela mock-gasped, clasping one hand to her chest. “You wouldn’t.”
Francesca grinned, a teasing glint in her eyes. “As much as I love you, Mic, I would.”OR:
It's music, in all of its forms, that finally helps Michaela and Francesca fall into love.
