Philip's POV

I've been getting more letters from Alice telling me how she's doing, what she's learning new every day, that she misses me and that she can't wait to see me again.

I write her back in the same way with some poetic touches to make her sure I still exist.

I think right now, we are both at this point of the relationship where we just can't hold on any more seconds to see each other.

We are deeply missed each other and in my side, my love for her is taking over me.

We are now in June of 1801.

It's been around 3 months since I saw Alice for the last time.

We both studied our arses off because at the end of the month, we've both got a huge examination to test our capacities.

If I pass this exam, I will automatically graduate at 19, following my father who graduated at the same age as well.

The scholars say I got the same virtuosity and brains as my pop's.

And not to brag but, I amaze and astonish.

I hope Alice is ready for her exams as well.

Alice's POV

I've been doing great not to say perfect for my exams.

I'm such a brilliant student! Probably one of the best of the university. I shouldn't brag though.

I hope you're proud of my, mum.

If I pass this exam, I can technically graduate but I rather stay at least one more year to be sure that I master my subjects.

I'm also really excited for this summer because the Hamilton's and my family will go on a holiday together.

We are planning to visit Canada this summer.

Today is the day of my exam. Philip already had his'. I just got a letter from him and it made me feel less stressed already.

'To my dearest, Alice,

I just had my examination and I am holding my pride. I amazed in it. I shall get my results in a few days.

I hope in your side, it is the same.

You are the most brilliant, clever, intelligent person I've met in my life. I'm sure that you'll pass your papers with ease.

I'm wishing you a good luck, and counting down the days until I shall take you in my arms.

From the bottom of my heart, I love you.

Philip Hamilton.'

He managed to stay poetic and yet so adorable.

I love him.

I folded the letter and put it in my pocket.

I got to my class and waited for the teacher to give us our exams.

I couldn't keep myself from stressing but I guess it's just normal.

I've just got back to my dorm room. I think the exam went quite well.

I will now send a letter to Philip.

'My dear Philip,

Thank you for your kind and loving letter.

In my side, I can affirm that my examination went pretty well.

I will get my grades back in a week.
