It was her, she was alive. I finally regained my footings on the reality, she was alive! But how? I was sure she'd died. I believed she'd died. But she is not. I feel joy and confusion rushed through me. This is all i asked for every night, my prayers are answered, but why didn't I feel happy?
"Marius?" I heard a familiar voice behind me. "Are you alright?" Madame Magloire put her arm on my shoulder as she gaze at me worriedly. "Yes, I'm fine" She still looked at me worriedly, "Come," She pulled me as she started to walk in the direction of the vegetable stand.
On our way back, I think Madame finally noticed my quietness. "Marius, what's wrong?" She put a hand on my knee. "I'll tell you later" I said with finality, for she leaned back on her seat and gazed out the window.
We finally arrived in my residence in Rue de Ratte. Marcus, my coachman opened the carriage door for me and Madame Magloire. I followed Madame Magloire to the kitchen, which luckily deserted. Madame Magloire put the groceries in the counter and turned to faced me expectantly.
I released my breath, "She's back" I stated quietly. "Who? Mademoiselle Fauchelevant?" She inquired. "No, Eponine. She's alive!" With those words spilled out of my mouth, Madame Magloire fell silent. She gripped the countersides tightly her knuckles turned white. However, she must've noticed my nervousness that came with her sudden change of demeanor.
"What are you planning to do, then?" I shooked my head, "Nothing" Her eyes went wide, "Nothing?" She repeated the words a tad loudly, "Nothing!" I emphasized the word in order for her to understand. "You basically fell into a depression four years after her 'death', and even your relatives thought you mad for believing a 'dead' girl is alive, and now said dead girl is apparently alive, you decided to do nothing?! Are you mad, boy?!"
"Madame, you don't understand.."I started, but she cutted me off angrily, "Well, you better make me understand!" I sighed sadly as i recalled the previous events. "She practically flee from me, Madame. I tried to talked to her but she ran away," I explained. Madame Magloire sighed tiredly too.
"Well, you should talk to her, Marius. Who knew what awaits if we never try to find out" She put a comforting hand on my shoulder. I smiled a little at her words, "Yes, who knew". Eponine can run as far as she'd like but that would not stop me from ever trying to meet her. I smirked at that thought, Eponine, I will most definitely find you.
