Angelica's POV
      I think about what he said. How am I going to sneak out? Maybe I can strike a deal with Eliza. I just don't know.
       "Hey Angelica. What did Burr say to you?" Kitty asked
       I blushed "ah, it was nothing"
       Peggy scooted closer to me with interest, "I don't think that's what he said."
        "Yeah, and if you don't tell us, we will tell dad that you kissed him" Eliza blackmailed. Again.
        "Eliza" I groaned "fine. He said 'same time, same place tomorrow?'"
        "Ooo" Eliza nudged me, "are you going?"
        "If you can help me out" I whispered back to Eliza.
        "you're gonna owe me."
       "How much?" I sighed
       "If I ever need to sneak out too, you have to help me"
       "fine, it's a deal. God you're annoying"
       "I think we already established that's it's little sisters jobs to be annoying."
        "So I'm literally the only sister who can't use that excuse?"
        "Yeah!"
        I shook my head. Maybe sneaking out to see Aaron would not be the best idea. I'll do it though. 
         We continue walking. When we get home, our dad was waiting. "Where have you girls been?" He asked not bothering to look up from his book.
         "We lost track of time" Eliza quickly answered, "how was your day father?" She continued sweetly.
         "it was good, Elizabeth." He raised an eyebrow, "Why are you covered in frosting?"
         Me and Eliza exchanged glances.
        "We got attacked by flying pie" Kitty giggled.
        "Angelica" he looked up at me, "what does your sister mean?"
        "She means, boys threw frosting pie on us." I explained.
        "And these are the soldiers you were meeting?"
       "Yes."
       "Go get changed, Dinner is in a half an hour."
       "Yes papa" The five of us shuffled up to our room.
       "That couldn't have gone better" Eliza said when we reached our room.
       I laughed, "surprisingly. Especially when I mentioned it was the boys who did it" I paused, "I wonder if we'll be able to see them again?"
       "Well at least you will" she teased, swiftly walking past me.
      "Elizabeth Schuyler!"
      "Yes, my dear sister?"
      "You are so infuriating!"
      "I know, my sister, I know. How many times have you said it?"
     "Countless times"
     
     No one had spoken. We were all sitting down for dinner, but no one had said a word.
     "So girls, how was your day?" Mom asked
     "It was fine, Mother"
     "What did you do?" she asked
     "Walked around, that sort of stuff."
     All of a sudden, a letter came.
     "It's addressed to Peggy!" Eliza said in surprise.
     Peggy seemed to glow as she delicately opened the crisp envelope. "Can I be excused?" She asked not looking up.
    "Sure, but what are you so excited about?" Mom said
    She looked up blushing, "Nothing."
    Mom looked like she didn't believe her but let her go.
    "She's lying, mother" Kitty said.
    "I know, Catherine." She responded smiling.
     "May I be excused?" Me and Eliza asked in unison.
    "Fine."
    When we got to Peggy's room, she burst out the door and shoved a piece of paper in my face. I read it out loud "My dearest, Peggy,
   Even though I've only known you for a short while, I believe I love you. Will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"
   "And?" Eliza prompted
   "Well, I want to."
   "I can tell Aaron tomorrow, so he can tell John." I said
   "Wait, you're not against this?" Peggy asked.
   "Well, it clearly makes you happy," I said
   "And if he hurts you in any way, I'll tear him apart." Eliza said in all seriousness.
    "God, Liza stop with the threats." I said noticing this was her fourth threat. "Blackmailing and now this."
    "What?" She said in defense, "it's 1780."
     "Well, we love you, and want you to be happy. An older sister's jobs are to protect our younger sisters." I looked at Eliza, "maybe a little too protective" she shrugged
     "You're my little sister, Pegs, I couldn't bear it if something happened to you."
     "Girls?" Our mother appeared in the doorway, "what are all of you doing up here?"
      Peggy smiled and hugged her rapidly telling her what had happened.
      "Margarita! That's wonderful!" mother chimed, I think I saw a small trickle of tears come out of her eyes.
      "Mom," Eliza interrupted, "you haven't even met Mr. Laurens."
      "Angelica, do you approve of this man?" mother turned to me.
     "He is kind and will care for her. I approve of Peggy marrying him." My own eyes began to fill with tears, and I found myself crying along side my mother.
     "Then he is perfect for my Peggy." she pulled the three of us in for a quick hug before speaking again. "But he must still ask father before I give my final word."
     "We should probably go back to diner" I pointed out.
     The four of us laughed, "we probably should."
