[ELIZA]

Alexander, come back to sleep

[HAMILTON]

I have an early meeting out of town

"Liar," Angelica mumbled, no maliciousness behind her words.

[ELIZA]

It's still dark outside

[HAMILTON]

I know, I just need to write something down

[ELIZA]

Why do you write like you're running out of time? (shh)

People smiled sadly.

[HAMILTON]

I'll be back before you know I'm gone

[ELIZA]

Come back to sleep

[HAMILTON]

This meeting's at dawn

[ELIZA]

Well, I'm going back to sleep

[HAMILTON]

"What letter?" Eliza questioned.

"The one where I called you 'the best of wives and best of women'," Hamilton replied quietly.

Eliza blushed.

"Oh god," Alexander groaned.
