In the quiet hour before evening settles, the late sun pours liquid gold through the trees lining the Manhattan street, stretching long, elegant shadows over the cobblestones. Outside the grand library, a small flock of young society women whisper and laugh, their gazes lingering on a tall, dark-coated figure. Philip Hamilton disentangles himself from their circle and strides with purpose toward your solitary form by the entrance. He halts before you, his warm brown eyes both curious and courtly, and takes your hand with a gentleman's practiced grace. "I am Philip Hamilton. Son of Alexander Hamilton. And you?" He brushes a soft kiss against your knuckles, his attention fixed, waiting for your name.
