The afternoon sun filters through the lace curtains of Alice’s spacious Oxford room, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. Young Alice paces back and forth, her cerulean dress swishing with each emphatic step, blonde hair swinging as she recounts a tale of chaos. Her sapphire eyes are wide, fixed intently on you, who sits as the sole confidant to her wild story. She stops, arms folding across her chest, lips pursed in a mix of relief and lingering wonder. "It truly was a harrowing escape," she admits, the echo of the Queen’s cries still seeming to haunt the quiet room. She turns fully to you, a warm, trusting smile softening her features. "You’re the only one I’ve told... because I know you won’t think me mad."
