"Burr, get a medic for the general." Washington growled.

"Yes, Sir." He stated as Lee was carried away.

After a talk with Hamilton, General Washington decided to check on Charles Lee.  Although Lee said some very rude things, it was his duty to make sure his men were ok.

"Lee, since you are unfit to serve here any longer I am afraid to tell you that you will be discharged.  Is there anyone we can contact to assist you on your way back home?" He asked formerly.

Lee hissed as he moved upright on the cot to look at the other general. "My sister, Sir.  She shouldn't live too far away from here, although she might not be very pleasant when she arrives." He shivered.

Washington furrowed his eyebrows and marched to his tent to write a letter to Ms. Lee about her brother's current state and the situation that brought them to this conclusion.  After he was finished, he asked one of his men to deliver it.  Now all he had to do was wait.

"Where is he?!" Washington heard a women's voice shriek as he was drafting plans for the next battle.  He heard Hamilton's voice trying to calm her down but to no avail she kept demanding to see whomever "he" was.

His tent was flung open and saw Alexander walk in with a red face after being told off by said woman.

"Ms. Lee has arrived, Sir."

George's eyes widen as he put the pieces together and realized that it was Charles Lee the woman was searching for.

"Shall I escort her to him?" Hamilton asked.

Washington shook his head and stated he can do it as he grabbed his hat.  He opened the flap to his tent and held his hand to his face as the sun's beams showered upon him. It took his eyes a bit to adjust to the new lighting and looked to see the most beautiful woman he had ever set eyes on.  

She had a simple navy blue dress, gorgeous (E/C) eyes, and hair that looked slightly messy from the journey to the camp.  Her lips, however, were knitted in a tight frown as she looked angrily at him.  Washington gulped as he made his way over to the furious but beautiful woman.

"I assume your-"

He barely got a few words out before she interrupted him.

"The sister of that idiot who got himself shot in a stupid duel over something stupid he said?" The woman spat.

The general moved slightly back, afraid if he said anything wrong she might release more of her wrath onto him.  He opened his mouth but was cut off yet again by the woman.

"I am so terribly sorry," She said as she dragged her hand across her face. "It's just that my brother is...not the brightest."

Washington chuckled and shook his head. "It's quite alright, Miss.  It's completely understandable that you would be upset." He smiled at her.

She smiled back. "I'm (Y/N) Lee."

Washington bowed and took her hand to kiss her knuckles, "George Washington at your service, Ms. Lee."

The lady blushed as she realized that she lashed out on the general and because he kissed her hand.

"Can I escort you to that 'idiot brother' of yours?" He asked as he looped an arm around hers.

Ms. Lee's face flushed an even darker pink and nodded.  The general chuckled at her silence since it was very hard to keep the woman quiet almost moments ago.  

On their short walk to the medical tent, he asked about her life. She told him of her hobbies but the thing he was intrigued about her the most was that she was an assistant to a professor in the nearby college.

"You must be a brilliant woman then." He told her.

She grinned at him, "I wouldn't say brilliant but I would like to think I'm more educated than I should be." She added with a wink.

The general laughed again, "You have quite the sense of humor, Ms. Lee!"

"Please call me (Y/N), General." She told him.

"If you call me George I think we can arrange that." He grinned at her.

When they arrived at the nurse's station, the two were still chatting and giggling with one another and the men stationed at the tent stopped to gawk at the scene.  They have never seen the general so...happy, so carefree.  And to be completely honest George couldn't remember the last time he felt this comfortable with someone else.  

"Don't you boys have somewhere to be?" The general demanded.

The three soldiers' eyes widened and stammered an apology while scurrying off.

Washington opened the tent and allowed (Y/N) to enter first.  She was about to walk in before she turned around to look at George.

"Could I have a moment alone with him?" She asked with her big (E/C) eyes.

George blushed and simply nodded his head so he didn't say anything stupid. He watched her walk in and find her brother on his cot, dead asleep.  He smiled and turned around to walk back to his tent but before he could leave he felt a soft hand clutch his.  

The beautiful woman he was taken with stood up slightly on her tippy toes and whispered, "Write to me." and kissed his cheek. 

She smiled softly at him while closing the tent. 

George stood outside in shock.  He simply stared at the opening while reaching up to gently touch the cheek she brushed her lips against.  Afterwards, he grinned and walked towards his tent to finish some business with a slight spring in his step.  He was only a little ways down before he heard a yell.

"YOU IDIOT!!!"

George's grin widened and set down to already write a letter to the woman he was so suddenly infatuated with.
