"and may you always, be satisfied"
i remember that night, i might just regret that night for the rest of my days. why oh why do i have to care for eliza so much. let me explain.
i have always been in touch with what is happening in new york city, and so of course i noticed how alexander hamilton was a growing figure. i immediately recognized him on that night. the ball.
it was the first time i ever saw his face, he waved at me. it lit a fire in my heart. i look back to find eliza, only to see her eyes filled with admiration looking at the very man i had just found attraction to.
she looks helpless. i know she is. her eyes are just helpless.
i walk over to alexander and lead him to eliza.
i stand beside them, engulfed in my thoughts. i introduced him to her, and now i stand next to my father as he gives them the blessing.
now the two are married, and i'm the maid of honor. i just fantasize, lost in my thoughts. my toasts are empty, until i realize i need to support her, i need to support my sister. may she always be satisfied. may they always be satisfied, may their world grow around them. let them be satisfied, i don't have to be satisfied.
maybe, just maybe, i could be satisfied too...?
