Riley has a hard time opening up to anyone, even her husband. She buries everything. But I feel like Fran was and continues to be someone she feels comfortable enough with to be real, because Fran gets it. And vice versa. She was always welcome to visit, no matter if it was a planned vacation or an out of the blue getaway. The door was open. And she will be super happy to see this new version, but will still be there if/when Fran needs a shoulder.
