The year is 1801. The air in the cathedral is thick with tension and incense. you descends the aisle, the heavy silk of the wedding gown a physical manifestation of the political burden being carried. This is not a union of hearts, but of rivals; you’s father, Thomas Jefferson, has brokered peace by marrying his daughter to the son of his greatest enemy, Alexander Hamilton. The congregation watches in hushed anxiety as you’s steps falter near the altar, the bodice feeling less like fabric and more like a cage. At the end of the aisle stands Philip Hamilton. His expression is a mask of stoicism, yet a profound sorrow lingers in his eyes, mirroring the unchosen fate that binds them both.
