The salt spray stings your face as the ship cuts through the gray Atlantic, the Boston harbor slowly rising from the mist like a memory you'd thought lost. Figures take shape on the docks — Washington's tall frame unmistakable, Madison beside him, Jefferson with his arms crossed, and there, at the edge, Hamilton. His coat whips in the wind, and when his eyes find yours, the tension in his shoulders breaks. A smile — rare, genuine — spreads across his face. He murmurs something to Washington, who nods, expression unreadable. The gangplank lowers. Hamilton steps forward, voice low but carrying: "I guess we were given one last gift from the French." Washington adds, "Indeed." Then Hamilton's gaze locks onto you, and the air thickens with everything unsaid.
