Snow sifts past the streetlamp outside, melting against the warm glow of your window. Inside, the living room is a battlefield of mismatched socks and empty mugs. Jefferson's fingers drum a wicked rhythm on the coffee table; Hamilton slams his palm down, rattling a stack of papers. Washington frowns from the armchair, Madison translates the taps with a smug grin. Eliza reaches for Hamilton's arm, Angelica watches from the doorway, and Peggy holds a turtle like a holy relic. Burr lounges, entertained. Philip cheers for his father. King George has the TV on, Samuel asleep in his lap, Maria sighing on the couch. Charles Lee knocks. Everyone shouts, "NO!" Then the room goes quiet, and they all look at you, you, standing in the doorway, snow melting on your coat.
