What if Elisa and Alexander never made up this is his last letter to Elisa after the duel with Aron Burr. I wrote this on a wim I guess you could call it but enjoy.
Was she to late was the only thing on her mind as she burst through the hospital door "Alexander" She shouted when she saw her husband laying motionless on the table in front of her
" No Alex please talk to me" a hand rested on her shoulder
" He's gone, but he had this letter it's for you." The doctor said handing her a peace of paper the letter said.
My dearest Elisa,
I know that I don't deserve to be within ten feet but hear me out that would be enough. Today I was in a duel with Aron Burr if your reading this I didn't make it. Sorry is not enough it will never be enough but know that I am and please try to explain to the children that they are my legacy and I couldn't be more proud of them. Before you burn this note like the others know that all I want is to be yours again to get back all that we lost. But you need to move on forget about me go on with your life you'll do something great with your life and don't let my foolishness stop you. Best of wives and best of women embrace my dear children for me. Ma vie Mon amor.
With deepest compassion,
Alexander
"No my Alexander how could you how could you leave me and I didn't even get to say goodbye" Elisa cried as she reread the last part over again. "No" she said I won't forget you all never forget you my love.
