[Frankie] Don't you get it, Birdie? I'm in love with you, okay? I always have been.

[Birdie] I... I can't love you, Frankie. I can't.

Francine Kindler harbored feelings for Beatrice Kingston for... what felt like forever. From the moment they first laid eyes on her, Frankie felt some sort of spark. However, they felt that their chances with her were slim to none. In Frankie's eyes, Birdie was the epitome of beauty. She seemed absolutely flawless. And it wasn't just how she looked, it was her personality too. She was kind, funny, and everything Frankie could ever want. Everybody seemed to want Beatrice.

Yet, Frankie felt hopeless. Beatrice was straight. Frankie pined for years, even knowing Beatrice was straight. She couldn't help it. Francine saw Birdie out with guys, and it hurt. It hurt them knowing their feelings wouldn't be reciprocated.

One drunken night, Beatrice opened up to Frankie when they picked her up from a party. She told them that she wasn't straight. She put that on for her parents and their expectations and beliefs. The two grew much closer after this. Frankie finally felt hope, even if it was just a little bit.

Maybe Beatrice would feel the same.
