Alexander Hamilton. Apparently, when I had been talking with Laurens, Eliza had fallen under the spell of love at first sight and Angelica wanted to help.

She pulled me away from Laurens and made me watch their conversation. I got bored almost immediately. I later escaped and went back to dancing with Laurens and you'll never guess what happened next.

TWO WEEKS! Two weeks I tell you. Eliza and Alexander only knew each other for TWO WEEKS and they were already getting married. What is this insanity?

The day of the wedding, I was helping Eliza get her dress on.

"Gorgeous." I said. "I wish I looked as good as you."

She turned to me with sympathy in her eyes. "Peggy, you are gorgeous. Look at yourself."

I looked in the mirror in front of her. My curly brown hair sat in a half but on the top of my head. The rest of my mane falling down over my milk chocolate skin. My bright yellow dress was flowing gracefully over my legs.

I smiled at her. "Today is your day. Have fun with it. Don't worry about me."

She hugged me. "Thank you, Peggy."
