oh my god! This is blooming brilliant absolutely loved it!!! Everything is so well written and I just love Jefferson as a whole his character is very well presented !
Your descriptions are too perfect. Your adjectives and comparisons. Teach me your lovely ways! ... heard her laugh tinkling like china. That is one of the most beautiful descriptive phrases I have ever read.
