Eliza's P.O.V.

I sighed, putting Philip to bed once again.

"It's okay, honey. There's nothing under the bed. Look." I lifted the bedspread, getting down on my knees to show him. He got down too, peering under the bed.

"See? Nothing." He continued looking before standing up.

"Okay, Mommy." I set the flashlight down on the nightstand, standing up and straightening my night clothes before lifting Philip onto the bed. He automatically lay down, so I brought the blankets up, smoothing them out before kissing my son's forehead.

"Good night, Mommy." I smiled, glancing over at my daughter, Angelica.

"Good night, Philip. Sleep tight, honey." I walked over to the door, looking back to my sleeping children before leaving, closing the door behind me.

I groaned, walking out to the common room. I was up constantly taking care of the kids because Alexander stayed up all night working. He was currently in New York City on business, which left me alone with the kids.

My head snapped towards the door when a knock came upon it.

Who would be out at such an ungodly hour?

I swiftly moved to open it, finding a honey-skinned goddess at my door. She wore hardly anything; simply a tank top and short, short shorts. Her hair covered over half her face, as if she trying to hide something. A trail of tears streamed from the eye I could see down her face, falling from her chin. Her eyes were bloodshot from crying and I thought I saw bruises on her neck and arms.

"I know you are a cherished maiden..." I sort of blushed. Her voice was like silk, and hearing the complement come from her made it sound ten times better.

"I'm so sorry to bother you at home, but I don't know where to go... I came here all alone..." I tilted my head as she continued.

"My husband's doin' me wrong... B-beating me...-" She brushed her hair back from her eye and I saw a large, unattractive bruise marking her skin.

"-Cheating me... Mistreatin' me... Suddenly he's up and gone... I just don't have the means to go on..." I felt really bad for her.

"Uh... C-come inside. I'll get you some tea, and... And... Do you need anything? Money, clothes... Anything?" She nodded softly and I helped her inside, sitting her down in the common room. I put some tea on the stove before running up to my room, grabbing one of Alexander's shirts and some cozy pants before walking back downstairs and giving them to her.

"You can ch-change out here i-if you'd like... Uh..." She smiled softly at me.

"Maria... Maria Reynolds..." I nodded.

"I'm.... I'm... Uh..." She smirked.

"Are you always so articulate?" She teased, causing a blush of embarrassment to cross my face. I didn't know why I was so... Helpless. I had gotten a bubbly feeling in my stomach and my heart pounded whenever I looked at her.

Alexander had never made me feel this way...

"Elizabeth. Elizabeth Hamilton. My friends call me Eliza." She smiled.

"Eliza. I like that." I gave a soft smile too, pushing some hair out of my face.

"I'll... I'll let you change then..." She nodded and I left, pouring her some tea.

I pulled out a small stash of cash, something that came out to be around a hundred dollars.

When I walked back out to the common room, she was dressed in both articles of clothing, although the shirt didn't help much since she was so small. At least it covered her a little more.
