Summer of 1791, New York City. Sunlight, cut into soft beams by the curtains, falls across Alexandra’s face, highlighting the blush that colors her cheeks. She sits rigid on the edge of you's bed, the air between them charged and still. Your nearness has dismantled her. The sharp, political mind that navigates congressional debates and national debt is momentarily silenced. She stares, breath caught in her throat, lost in a sudden, profound intimacy that leaves her coherent thoughts in ruins.
