I loved the detail of how Amelia came by her monocle, what a great way to have them meet. Their relationship rang very true to me, two confident women caring and respectful of each other and comfortable in their love.
I loved how Amelia remained as calm as she could during the attack, how she thought rather than striking out blindly, following her training and practicing what she preached.
I like to think she got a little piece of Tom during that exchange.
Thank you! Such a lovely story, and a real treat to find the first day, L
