Summary: Maria goes to Burr's office with a request.



Burr is in his office, working, when Maria Reynolds enters. Her long curly hair hides part of her face, and she looks helpless. Burr is about to say something, mention her affair with Hamilton.

Maria sighs. "Mr. Burr, you're a lawyer, right?" she says.

He looks at her up and down; her face flushes pink. "Yes. What do you want from me, Mrs. Reynolds?"

"Please, call me Ms." she tells him, closing her eyes. "I want a divorce from Mr. James Reynolds."

Burr smirks, and she shuffles her feet. "I can surely help with that."

Maria sighs and starts explaining.
