1801. The sun beats down on a crowded shoreline, a stark contrast to the rigid halls of New York. Alexander Hamilton stands apart from the domestic chaos, his posture relaxed yet alert. Beside him, his eldest son Philip scans the horizon with identical intent. They are not watching the waves, but the women strolling along the sand. Nearby, under the shade of a parasol, their wife tends to baby Eliza, who smacks at the wet sand with chubby hands. Alexander offers a faint, guilty smirk to his son, fully aware of his wife’s distant, disappointed gaze.
