Chapter Text
Dear Diary,
I got a letter from my dear friend John Laurens. It was nice to hear from him after he's been away for so long. He is currently fighting with his soldiers in South Carolina, I hope everything is going well for him.
I spoke to my wife earlier; she wanted to know if I could take care of Phillip while she runs an errand at the local church. Of course I agreed. But this just got me thinking; is this really where I am supposed to be in life? I should be out there, fighting, with Laurens and his soldiers. I miss him. But why do I?
In the letter he sent me, he told me something that made everything in my head spin and my world turn upside down.
"Alexander, how dare you make me feel for you the same way I feel for a woman."
I became speechless. Is this taboo? Is it okay for me reciprocate what he said in the letter? I don't know, I don't think I'll ever know. But I have time, enough time to talk it through with him face to face.
But after reading this heartwarming letter from Laurens while recieving quick compliments from my wife, Eliza, I start to wonder if there is a life out there. A life somewhere out there in another universe where it's just me, my writings, John and our bravery.
