There are moments where the words don't reach.. Suffering to horrific to name..
Eliza would talk to me.. She runs to Angelica for support.. I'm left alone in a big black cloud, uptown.

I take the children to church on Sundays, the sign of the cross at the door, and I pray. That never used to happen before. I walk on the streets ya liking to myself, walking by myself, "Philip you would like it uptown it's quite uptown.. I never use to like the quote before." One night I came back late from a long walk across the city.
"Eliza I am home. Sorry I was gone do late.. Eliza?" I look throughout the house for her "Elizabeth? Are you-" I stop when I see a note in the bed. I pick it up. It read: My dearest, Alexander, I am staying with Angelica for the night. I'll be back in the day. Goodnight.
~Elizabeth Hamilton

I crumple up the note and toss it in ten trash. I sit down, hopeless on our bed. "It's quite uptown.." I mutter.

It has been a week without Eliza. I'm going insane. So, I went out to find her.
I knew where she was but I never bothered to go.

I knock on the door "Eliza and Angelica?" Angelica opened the door
"What?"
"May I see my wife? I haven't seen her in a week!"
"Yes you may."
I rush in "Eliza! My dear! I missed you!"
Eliza gave me a hug "I missed you too. Im sorry I just needed to be out of that house. It reminds me too much of Philip, which is good but.. It bring on to many emotions."

"I know, I understand. Angelica could I take Eliza off you hands and take her for a walk?"
She hugged Elizabeth and then hugged me "She is your wife, not mine." She gave a small smile that we both returned. I walked Elizabeth out and went for a nice walk in the city.
