(a lot of this is prob not historically accurate don't kill me plz)
°•° At the Schuyler residence °•°
"Eliza, the carriage is here." Angelica stated before walking out of the room. I nodded and put down my copy of Romeo and Juliet. I headed down the stairs to find the carriage parked outside. Angelica and Peggy were already seated and talking to each other, enjoying their company. I sat down on the puffy purple seats, and the carriage took off.
"Do you think I'll be able to find someone handsome there?" Peggy asked with a grin. Angelica and I giggled in response.
"Peggy, is all you think about men?" I asked through giggles, which made her face flush red.
"Not everything I think about has to do with men!" She exclaimed, and Angie rolled her eyes.
"Sureee.." Peggy looked away in 'disgust' for about 10 seconds then started to laugh. We talked for another 30 minutes started to feel the carriage slow. I started to get nervous, but tried to not make it seem obvious. - I don't want to scare off any potential mates - I smoothed out my dress, waiting for the door to open. Angie headed out first and her sisters soon followed. Peggy could tell I was getting antsy somehow and squeezed my hand. I smiled back and headed up the stairs and into the building.
°•° The Winters Ball °•°
The ballroom was full of unfamiliar faces and giant, puffy dresses. Angie and Peggy had left to go dance, leaving me alone. I headed over to the restroom to fix the flyaways in my hair, which was a french braided bun atop my head. As I was heading out, I saw Peggy dancing with some random man that she probably met less than 5 minutes ago. Angie was in the middle of a conversation with someone on the side of the room. We had met eyes, and I swear I was helpless. Angie had walked over to me with the man she was talking to. He had long hair that was put into a low ponytail. He wore a blue coat with black boots, and white pants that fed into said boots. It kind of looked like one of the war outfits, but I brushed that off.
"Elizabeth Schuyler," I started with a smile. "It's a pleasure to meet you."
He looked at me with a hint of confusion. "Schuyler?" He asked with an eyebrow raised. "My sister!" Angelica said with excitement, her face beaming with pride. I turned back to him and smiled.
"Alexander Hamilton." He stated. I remembered he was in a war suit."Thank you for all your service." I said, my smile growing larger by the second.
"If it takes fighting a war for us to meet it would have been worth it." He said with a sly grin. "I'll leave you to it!" I exclaimed. The ball started to die down, so we found Peggy, taking her away from the man she was dancing with 2 minutes ago. We headed back to the carriage with smiles plastered on our faces, making us look like royal jesters.
