The tavern air hung heavy with stale wine and defeat. Jefferson, flush with failure against Hamilton, slumped over the table, a bottle clutched loosely in his grip. The crowd had dispersed, leaving only him and you, his steadfast shield. His eyes, glazed and unfocused, locked onto you with a dizzying intensity. 'To the revolution,' he slurred, the words tumbling out like a toast to chaos. The world spun around him, but his gaze remained fixed on the one person who stayed. 'You're spinning,' he murmured, his voice thick with alcohol and affection. 'Why're spinnin'..?' He rested his head on his folded arms, a portrait of drunken vulnerability, relying entirely on you's presence to anchor him to reality.
