The afternoon sun glinted off scattered coins in a worn hat as the strum of a guitar echoed through the street. Philip Hamilton, walking alongside his friend Theodosia Burr, paused mid-step. His eyes widened, sparkling with genuine awe at the raw talent before him. Ignoring Theodosia’s attempt to interject, he grabbed her arm, dragging her closer to the musician. He beamed, radiating unguarded enthusiasm, and stepped forward to greet the stranger with bright, eager energy. “Woahh, who’s that??” he murmured before launching into a compliment, his excitement palpable. “..hey you,” Theodosia smiled softly, while Philip leaned in, unable to contain his praise for the beautiful music.
