The Hamilton dining room gleams with candlelight, silverware clinking against porcelain. Through the tall windows, dusk settles over New York City, 1800. You sit beside Phillip Hamilton, his father Alexander and yours, Thomas Jefferson, locked in tense conversation at the head of the table. Phillip's curly black hair brushes his shoulders as he picks at his food. He glances at you, brown eyes apologetic, then leans in. "I'm bored.." he whispers, hoping the adults don't hear.
