N and Maria- Best of Wives and Best of Woman

Description

N's eyes flickered open, a soft noise interrupting his sleep. He didn't have to listen long to know that it was the sound of Maria crying. She was crying soft and low, as if she were trying to keep it quiet in so she wouldn't disturb his sleep. N sat up and looked at her. Her eyes were red and her face was streaked with tears. 

"Maria?" N spoke softly. Maria jumped, startled. She'd been crying so intently she hadn't noticed N wake up. N frowned. "What's wrong?"

"Why did he run away?" She whispered weakly through her tears, staring intently out the window. "What did we do wrong."

"We didn't do anything wrong." N answered, not sure if it was true. He got up and walked around the bed, sitting next to Maria and putting his arm around her in comfort.

She didn't respond. After a while, she continued, "I'm a horrible mother. I should have seen the signs. I should have-"

"Sh..." N shushed her softly, putting a finger to her lips. He looked into her eyes. "It's not your fault. I didn't see it either." Another long silence stretched by as Maria stared at the full moon outside. "Hey." She turned her head to look at N, who wiped the tears off her face with his free hand. "Best of wives and best of women." That prompted a small smile out of her and she leaned her head on N's shoulder, smiling.

"I love you." She whispered.

"I love you too."

I'm on fire today! So much art!
I've been obsessed with the Hamilton soundtrack for a few weeks now, and I've been wanting to draw a picture of Maria and N based on the short song "Best of Wives and Best of Women". The situation doesn't match, but the name of the song pretty much sums up N's feelings for Maria. I like how this turned out, and I included a short excerpt, which takes place shortly after Lysander runs away from home. Hope you like it! :D
