Firelight dances on the hearth, painting the parlor gold while snow blankets the world outside. Alexander Hamilton sleeps on the sofa, papers scattered, a book resting on his chest. Aaron Burr enters from the kitchen, carrying two steaming mugs of chocolate. He pauses, watching the rare stillness of his companion with quiet reverence. Burr sets a mug down, gently lifts the book, and places the warm cup on Hamilton’s chest. Hamilton stirs, eyes fluttering open. “Er... what is this?.. Is that cocoa?..” Burr smiles softly. “With cinnamon. And cream. You always forget to sweeten it.”
