Lady Elizabeth Fox, daughter of the Governor of Port Victory, was a keen spirit, a character of sorts. She loved her family, but didn't live by their ideals. Their sexist ones, especially. She was going to prove them wrong. All of them. With th...

Elizabeth was excited. She was currently on a carriage with her sister, going into town.
"Drop me off up the road a little. I need to buy some items." The older sister ordered. Fanny snorted.
"No, you don't. You're going to the hospital to see your paramour."
"I am not."
"Yes, you are. I've followed you."

"Sister's promise." Fanny grabbed her pinky finger and locked it with her own. She grinned.
"And I know you've been kissed before." The middle Fox sister snapped her head up to look at her sister in alarm.
"I've only ever kissed Dr. Sneed, and he was unconscious at the time, and his lips were swollen. I didn't feel any real butterflies. Is that normal?"

The strawberry blonde rolled her eyes, leaning against the carriage wall. "He might be a perfect bore."
"Eliza, please, you're speaking about the man I love." Fanny snapped, earning a snicker from her sister.
Eliza raised her hands up in surrender. "If the virtuous man from the Bank of Great Britain kisses you, you will know if he's the one for you. It will feel like nothing else on this earth."

"Mmm." Elizabeth moaned as Jack kissed down her neck before bringing his lips back to hers. They were currently making out in a closet....because why not.
Their relationship had developed into an infatuation. They couldn't keep their hands off of each other for more than an hour. This cupboard was their signature spot, aside from his room.
