Esmeralda lies across the big bed that she shares with Judge Claude Frollo. He's at a late meeting and she's missing him. She never thought she'd feel this strongly about him when she agreed to be with him to save her people. Claude has been so sweet and he's now asked Esmeralda to marry him in Notre Dame Cathedral. She waits up for him every single night so she can at least kiss him good night. Claude is so busy and important. Suddenly there's a knock on the door to the bedroom and Esmeralda is surprised. Claude never knocks so she knows it can't be him. She pulls her robe around her and slowly opens the door. "Quasimodo, what are you doing here?"
"I just got a message from Minister Frollo. He got called out to an emergency, so he wanted to let you know to go to bed since he's not sure when he'll be home. He didn't want you to stay up." Quasimodo passes Esmeralda the note.
"Oh," Esmeralda sounds disappointed. "I was hoping he'd be back soon. The room is so lonely without him."
"He's so happy with you. I've never seen him like this before. He seems so different from how he used to be. You've been good for him." Quasimodo says happily. "I'll you tomorrow, Esme."
"See you tomorrow, Quasi. Get a good night's sleep." Esmeralda says sweetly. She closes the door to their bedroom and turns down the covers on her side of the bed. She sits at the vanity and brushes out her hair before she slips between the covers and looks at the stars over Paris and knows that Claude is looking at the same stars. She slowly falls asleep knowing she'll wake up when Claude comes to bed anyway.
