My first reaction was to start crying. I fell onto the stairs and started screaming and crying. I was in a fit of hysteria.

"I'm sorry Thomas, Philip most of gotten the power to enchant women like his father." My dad remarked.

"May I try to calm her down, since it will be one of my tasks as her husband?" Thomas asked. My dad nodded. Thomas touched my arm.

"Get your Virginian hands off me!" I yelled, "You will never be my husband and I will never be a Jefferson!" My father sat next to me as well.

"Shhh Theo I know everything is changing all at once, but just remember Philip isn't right for you. Thomas is perfect for you," My father began "Now I have some work to do downtown, but I'll be back in time for dinner, now be good for Thomas." With that my father was gone and I was home alone with Thomas Jefferson. My tears slowly began to stop. I could just sneak out tonight. Yeah that's what I'm going to do. But for that to be successful I need to seem like a loving fiance for Thomas. I looked up at him and leapt into his arms.

"Mr. Jefferson I'm so sorry. I guess Hamilton did trick me to fall in love with him. I'm so sorry and I promise to be a loving wife to you." Thomas was shocked. His eyes widened, but a smirk crept up on his face.

"Oh Theodosia please just call me Thomas and it's alright. Hamilton's have a way with words." I just nodded.

"Theodosia do you know how to play chess?" He asked.

"Of course Thomas," I said. He stood up and held out his hand for me to take. I took it and he pulled me off the floor. We walked to the chess table and began to play. He was clearly letting me win.

"Thomas you don't have to let me win," I said as I took his queen with a pawn. Two moves and I could win.

"Well if I was letting you win would I do this?" He put me in check with his knight. I quickly killed his knight with my knight, a move which rarely happens in any game of chess. He moved his pawn not caring where it went.

"Well if you weren't letting me win could I do this?" I asked putting him in checkmate with my rook. I could see him snarl through his teeth.

"Damn it I guess you beat me," he said "well Theodosia, why don't you show me something you like to do for fun?" Thomas asked.

"I don't do a lot of things for fun Thomas," I said.

"Oh come on! There has to be something you enjoy," Thomas exclaimed.

"I enjoy sewing," I confessed. I saw Thomas's smile drop on his face.

"Well I guess it makes sense since you're a woman," He remarked "how about you do some sewing while I read a book." He said. I nodded and tried not to act mad when in fact I was fuming. Anyone can enjoy sewing. My father used to tell me about an old friend of his named Hercules Mulligan who loved to sew. I went into my room and grabbed the mannequin, my sewing kit and the dress I was working on. It was a dark blue and was extremely puffy. I walked down the stairs. Thomas was reading some book. I sat down on the couch next to the couch he was sitting on. He looked up at me as I threaded the needle.

"I recommend you make the neckline lower, you wanna show off what God gave you right?" Thomas said before sticking his nose back in his book. I felt my blood boiling.

"I prefer higher necklines and since it's my dress that's how I am going to make it," I said with a chuckle. Suddenly I felt something around my wrist, causing me to drop the sewing needle. It was Thomas, his face inches from mine.

"Are you talking back to me?" He snarled. His voice was sharp and crisp.

"No Thomas," I managed to spit out.

"Good," He snarled. He sat back down and resumed reading. I picked up my needle. I felt tears welling in my eyes. I guess you could say I was sensitive. I didn't like being yelled at. Thomas seemed to notice my tears.

"Are you ok love?" He asked, getting up and sitting next to me. His arm wrapped around my waist.

"DON'T TOUCH ME!" I managed to yell, standing up quickly. Thomas's face looked upset.

"I'm sorry did I upset you?" He asked, shucking off his bright purple jacket.

"YES YOU DID UPSET ME THOMAS! THE TOP PART OF THIS DRESS WAS THE LAST THING MY MOTHER EVER MADE! SHE TOLD ME THAT WHEN I FIT INTO IT SHE WANTED TO FINISH IT SO THAT IS WHAT I AM DOING! AND FOR YOU DO JUST COME OUT AND SAY TO LOWER THE NECKLINE! MY MOTHER WAS NOT AN OBJECT FOR YOUR FANTASIES THOMAS!" I screamed before running up the stairs and locking myself in my bedroom.
