Chapter 11
Enjolras stood outside as the carriage rolled away. He waved until they were out of sight. Then he sat outside and waited for the sunrise.
It's amazing the things that a person notices when he doesn't expect to see it again, Enjolras thought. He gazed at the dewdrops that formed around the barricade and smelled the fresh scent of a warm summer day. It was cool and refreshing, like a breath of fresh air by the sea. For the first time since moving to Paris, he really looked at the city; the cobblestoned streets, the parchment colored buildings, the neat little flower boxes on the sides of streets attached to low gates with flourishing designs. He wondered how he had never noticed all of that before. Gazing towards the sky, he watched the stars slowly fade into the dawning sky. He thought about Cosette. Did he love her? Not in the simple uncomplicated way that Marius seemed to. He thought back to the day that he and Cosette had walked through the city and she had made him laugh so much. There was something about Cosette that brought out the best in him, the part of him that used to notice dewdrops and gaze at the stars. He felt that he had lost the part of him to his battle for France, and that was why he could not lose Cosette to it too. A beam of sun lit up the sky. Sunrise. And as he had promised, he was thinking of Cosette.
