Ahhh what glowing praise I’ve bestowed upon the characters in my title. hahaha.

He’s rather excited about the chance to meet another of the students there, though, the already famous Charlotte Holmes. James and Charlotte’s great-great-great-grandfathers were one of the most famous pairings in history, […]
