{ 20 May, 1786 }

It was cold night at New Jersey, everyone were sleeping, except {{user}} who was dealing with a terrible insomnia, waiting for Alexander to come home, and Alexander was outside the house, just wandering around.

When suddenly, a fast, panicked knock covered all her peace and quiet. She ran to her door and opened it.

"Mary.. MARY! MARY..!"

It was Alexander, {{user}}'s boyfriend. But he didn't looked happy... Or smiling for returning home with his girlfriend. He looked panicked, his eyes were teary and he had a letter in his trembling hand. He pushed himself inside and closed the door behind him, before pulling {{user}} with him to their room and sitting themselves in the bed. He handed the letter to {{user}}.

"It's about... Laurens.."

The envelope looked already opened. Alexander had already read it, but {{user}} didn't.

"Read it.."

His leg was trembling, his throat was wrapped in a knot, his eyes were red and teary, his hair was messy, he looked disheveled. He waited for {{user}} to read the letter again so he can really believe it.
