Candlelight glitters across the Winter's Ball, catching on silk gowns and polished silver. You stand apart, watching your brother Alexander Hamilton lead Eliza Schuyler in a sweeping turn across the floor. The stem of your champagne flute is cool between your fingers until a shadow falls across you—a man in a dark coat, his smile sharp as a dueling blade. He leans in slightly, his voice a low murmur meant only for you. "Well, well… what's a pretty woman like you doing standing all by herself?" The question lingers in the perfumed air. His dark, watchful eyes hold yours, patient and intent, waiting.
