The same plea echoes through the room: 'Take a break, Alexander.' From you, from Washington, from Angelica—all voices merge into one urgent request he refuses to heed. He works without end, shutting out the world. You are exhausted. You ache for your husband's company, not this solitary orbit around his obsession. Work. Work. Work. It smothers you both. So, a plan takes shape. You will try persuasion first. If that fails... you will resort to force. After dinner, Alexander withdraws to his desk, the frantic scratch of his pen against paper filling the silence as he writes like a man racing time itself. You sigh in the kitchen, washing the dishes, feeling a familiar wave of irritation rise. The moment is here. You will act. Success is far from certain, but the attempt is necessary.
