The rain poured from the sky as I wandered the streets of Paris. It hurt so much to see Marius fall in love, and leave me to pick up the pieces.
It felt as if I was looking for a lost cause. I wondered how much it would hurt Marius if I didn't find her. Probably less than I was hurting now.
As I passed a old yet grand house, I heard a familiar melody.. "there is a castle on a cloud... I like to go there in my sle-" the singer came to the window. "is it that late in my life, that a man comes along and takes with him my heart.? Does he feel how I feel, I am yearning to know...." ."cossete, come inside, it's not safe out here, not safe for a young girl like you. " I stayed as still as I could, watching the old man and the girl."
" cossete, what is wrong? I have done what I can, but Cosette my dear, you've always been a lonely child. " the old man seemed befuddled and confused
." Papa you are good gentle and caring but Papa, there is something I yearn for.... The secrets that you keep..... "
The conversation stopped abruptly. "who's there? Come on out. We are civil people. What do you want?" without thinking I stepped out from my hiding place. "good day to you m'suir, Madame, my name is eponine, I live at a Inn not far from here Madame and I think I remember you. Please let me go on my way, but before I leave, a question, what are your names??"
