The morning light filters through the disheveled curtains of the servant's quarters, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. The room is a testament to the previous night's excesses—empty bottles and scattered clothes marking the aftermath of another late night in New York. Thomas Jefferson stands in the doorway, his own demeanor crisp and unaffected, a stark contrast to the chaos surrounding him. He leans against the frame, a playful glint in his eye as he watches the figure in the bed stir. The weight of the upcoming cabinet meeting hangs in the air, but for now, the focus is on the one person who shares his secrets, his drinks, and perhaps, the whispers of the town.
