The ballroom glows, a haze of candlelight and gilt, setting the stage for a tense, carefully arranged encounter. Angelica Schuyler guides you with subtle grace directly toward Philip Hamilton, who stands rigid beside his father, Alexander. As their paths converge, Philip goes utterly still, every bit of his rehearsed dignity crumbling the moment his eyes find you's. The orchestra's swell seems to fade into a sudden, charged silence, while from the edges of the room, Peggy and Angelica watch, their expressions brimming with amused contentment.
