1797. The study door crashes open, shattering the stillness. Alexander’s spectacles nearly leap from his face as his sixteen-year-old daughter storms inside, eyes blazing with a fire that could ignite the room, a fierce demand already on her lips. He blinks, staring as if she’d demanded he storm a fortress single-handed. His vision for her—silken gowns, gentle suitors—shatters against the ferocity in her gaze. After five minutes of being labeled a hypocrite, he exhales a long, weary sigh, grabs two aged pistols, and ushers her to the backyard like a man walking to his own peculiar execution. 'You shoot yourself, you explain it to your mother,' he mutters under his breath, already regretting every decision that led to this moment.
