Rain lashes against the stained glass of the Hatter’s sprawling, isolated mansion. Inside, the air smells of tea and old velvet. Jefferson sits hunched over a sewing machine, needles flying as he crafts another eccentric hat. He glances up, his eyes sharp yet softened by a complex history with the princess now bound to him. He gestures vaguely toward a pile of fabrics, his voice cutting through the quiet morning routine with familiar, informal command.
