oh god I don't like where this is going 

Peggy pov:

its the day of the wedding

maybe this wedding isn't such a bad thing? 

perhaps it's just sisterly love

Angelica clearly doesn't feel that way

her tearstained makeup didn't look half as good as usual, even after wiping it all off to reveal her beautiful self, her sadness still showed.

the ceremony dragged on for hours, when they said 'i do' despite the recent stress of how Eliza would change, I was grateful for it to be done.

when it came to the cutting of the cake, however, it all went downhill

first alexanders drunk friends showed up, leaving all the ladies giggling

but when lafayette asked for a dance, I could hardly say no. 

we spun around the ballroom for what felt like hours before another woman came and took his attention

I have to admit it, I did enjoy dancing with laff, but I'm even more grateful it was over.

then the doctor came on sight

he looked oddly miserable. its a wedding, so surely he brought bad news

he did

he was sent from a mass testing unit, that watches people for symptoms of deadly diseases

everyone knows the scarlet fever is fatal, now for my sake, I can only hope it's not true
