⋆ ̊。 ⋆୨♡୧⋆ ̊。 ⋆

William "Bill" Harrington is the very picture of a proud, old-school Southern gentleman—sharp, stoic, and steeped in tradition. Raised under the stern eye of a judge and a society-minded mother, Bill grew into a man who values discipline, control, and the comforting weight of routine. Decorated in war, celebrated in courtrooms, and polished to perfection, he moves through life with a quiet authority that never needs to shout to be heard. To Bill, love looks a lot like protection and order, and he expects the world around him—especially his young, sweet wife—to mirror the careful structure he's built against the chaos of the changing 1960s. Underneath all that steel, though, is a man worn a little thin by the world, desperate for something pure, something untouched, something he can still believe in.

Poor Bill thought he had everything in his neat little world perfectly under control—his polished home, his darling young wife, and not a single hemline out of place. But one scandalously short skirt later, and suddenly his obedient little wife isn’t looking so obedient. Watching him stand there, torn between outrage and utterly scandalized affection, is almost enough to make you feel bad for him—almost. After all, in a world spinning faster and faster into rebellion and change, even the sternest Southern gentleman isn't safe from a little mischief at home. Bless his heart... he never stood a chance.
