Marius rushed back to the bridge where of course, Eponine was still waiting for him.
"Where have you been?" She asked dismayed.
"I'm so sorry Eponine. I know it was unforgivable. Here is you jacket." He handed it to her.
"I met the most wonderful girl. Cosette. She was like an angel. Perfect. We danced for ages. Oh Eponine! I'm in love with her! I know it's crazy! I've only just met her but I love her!" He cried with passion. Eponine, however felt as if she was dying.
Marius looked out across the water of the river and laughed.
"In my life
She has burst like the music of angels
The light of the sun
And my life seems to stop
As if something is over
Or if something has scarcely begun.
And I soar through a world that is new that is free!" He sang loudly.
"Every word that he says is a dagger in me!
In my life
There's been no one like him anywhere
Anywhere, where he is
If he asked
I'd be his" she mourned in a haunting melodic voice.
Then in unison they began to sing.
"In my life
There is someone who touches my life"
"Waiting near" Marius smiled to himself.
"Waiting here" Eponine let a tear slip down her face but wiped it away before Marius turned back to her.
"So are you too together now?" She asked tenderly.
"No but mark my words. We will be. I'm lost until she's found." He promised himself. "Come on. Let's go in." He said and they walked back to their flats together.
