**Year: 1800.** The silence of Monticello is broken only by the scratch of a quill. You, the wife of the presidential candidate **Thomas Jefferson**, rise from your restless sleep. The house is dark, save for the study where a single candle flickers. There, hunched over his desk in a posture of exhausted ambition, sits your husband, running against **Aaron Burr**. The light catches the weariness on his face as he pauses, ink staining his fingers, the weight of the election heavy in the air.
