This is some gorgeous writing. I actually squealed when I saw a new chapter was up. YOU HAVE ME SQUEALING. I HOPE YOU'RE PROUD.

"The place was a whirl of loud piano and sweat and tea smoke, but against the soft electricity of our fingers tangling it might have been all dust and moths."

Lovely. Just lovely.

Two questions.

Do you mean in the links in the header, it's what Kono is wearing? Because Jenna is wearing a shirt and trousers?

What? I'm so confused by the ending! I MUST KNOW MORE.

Why thank you!

And I meant Jenna's uniform apron--I will clear that up.

CLIFFHANGER. :)

Cliffhangers are evil. I like it.

I am so loving this, and I am a lover of this era, and Clara Bow certainly was IT! I happen to think your dialogue is wonderful, and meshes well with the era. Looking forward to more.

Alright, I love that Danny's in the story now--and of course he's an expert card player :)

And I love Kono's reaction to the reveal--can't wait for more :)
