::Cosette::

Cosette arrived safely back at her house. She couldn't bear to stay at the Café a second longer, knowing that she must have hurt Marius with that letter. Even thought she had told Marius that she still wanted to marry someday, it seemed like there was a barrier between them now. Something had changed and they were no longer joined as they used to be.

One voice in her head questioned, had she done the right thing, writing that letter? Of course she had, another voice told her.

She scolded herself for having second thoughts, but she couldn't stop them from entering her head. Her father was out on an errand, and Toussaint was in the garden, leaving the house still and quiet. She stared down at the bare hand, which once bore her engagement ring and sighed. She had taken it off with the letter. Eponine's words were still running through her head.

Her thoughts still remained at the Café. What was Eponine doing right now? Maybe she should have taken Eponine with her. She hoped Eponine wasn't too lonely in that room by herself. Then a thought, a strange and random thought danced across her mind.

Did she have strong feelings for Marius anymore?

"Why am I thinking such things?" She wondered aloud. Of course she still loved him... more than words could express. But as the day went on, she began to doubt her feelings even more.


a/n: Don't ask me why she's doubting, I was stupid when I wrote this.
