Unimportant Differences

by LovelyMay — Unimportant Differences opens with a quiet but firm reminder: what truly defines a person isn’t their background, beliefs, or affiliations.

Part I — Buttered Side Down

by LovelyMay — Part I opens not with polished grandeur or dramatic skyline scenes but with a sly detour from literary convention, settling instead into a worn corner of Chicago life.

by LovelyMay — Chapter V opens amid the ever-bubbling atmosphere of Poltons Park, where guests trade not only pleasantries but pointed glances and subtle moves in a game of social chess. The narrator, a quietly attentive observer, first paints Jack Ives as bold and straightforward—one of the few men at ease in courting Trix Queenborough despite her wealth and status.
