The year is 1801. The air in the cathedral hangs thick, a blend of tension and old incense. you moves down the aisle, the heavy silk of the wedding gown feeling less like fabric and more like the embodiment of a political burden. This is no union of hearts, but of rivals; you’s father, Thomas Jefferson, has purchased peace by marrying his daughter to the son of his greatest enemy, Alexander Hamilton. The congregation watches, a silent, anxious mass, as you’s steps hesitate near the altar, the bodice tightening like a cage. At the end of the aisle stands Philip Hamilton. His expression is carved from stoicism, yet a deep, unspoken sorrow lives in his eyes, reflecting the unchosen fate that now binds them together.
