Marius explained to Cosette and Fauchelevent the situation his best friend was through, and Fauchelevent was really comprehensive. So everybody went to Enjolras's house on Fauchelevent's carriage.
When they arrived, Éponine indicated the path to Enjolras's room. Enjolras and Grantaire were worse than when Éponine and Azelma left. Immediately they were taken to Marius's house with their friends escorting them.
They arrived to the big house and Marius's grandfather monsieur Gillenormand got confused about seeing lots of people in his house. Marius explained everything and begged his grandfather who ended (after many begs) agreed.
The following weeks with doctors, treatments and cares, the hoped miracle that Éponine, Azelma and theirs friends expected, became true: Enjolras and Grantaire got better. They were now healthy and they could stand up and walk.
Éponine and Azelma didn't wear tatters anymore because the generous Cosette's father bought them many beautiful dresses to wear. The two sisters were really thankful with him and they started to see him as a paternal image, he was giving them the paternal love their father didn't give to them when they needed it. And Cosette was envying them because now they had some things she had first.
Nobody was suspecting about Cosette because they were all paying attention on Enjolras and Grantaire's evolutions. Cosette was near Marius acting as someone in love so nobody could suspect of her, but at the same time she was looking at Enjolras someone she found really attractive thinking she could leave Marius for him, there was only one inconvenient: that girl Éponine. But it wasn't going to be difficult to quit her of the game, that's what she thought and she was totally wrong because Enjolras only had eyes for the love of his life Éponine. Now the two couples were together walking on the big garden of Marius's house.
"I still can't believe that we are all together like this" Éponine said with Enjolras by her side, she was holding his arm. He smiled at her and kissed her forehead with love.
When no one was staring at her, Cosette bended her eyes, then when Marius looked at her she smiled.
"Me either" Marius replied smiling at his love.
"Bahorel and Azelma are missing. They are delaying a little bit, I think" Enjolras said. Oops… he told a secret that wasn't his, when he realized about that he told something he shouldn't he blushed and looked other place.
"Wait… Wait… my sister and Bahorel?" Éponine said surprised and happy. Now she was beautiful in all senses. She smiled and didn't look at her sister so she couldn't suspect anything about Enjolras revelation.
Fauchelevent was watching them with Azelma's accompany. He was starting to have affection for Thénardier's daughters; he was starting to see them as his own daughters.
"Marius…" Enjolras said moving his head to the right. Marius understood that code so he took Cosette by a hand and leave Éponine and Enjolras alone. Éponine couldn't understand anything.
She saw them leaving and she looked at Enjolras really confused.
The wind was blowing to their faces. The beautiful birds singings were rumbling on their ears, the flowers were thriving, everything was so perfect that they couldn't believe it was true. They saw each other in the eyes and it was like they were the only ones in that place.
He took a breath. His resplendent eyes were looking with fervor at the girl with the corners of her lips lifted thinly showing a shy but beautiful smile. He didn't know what to do, if he should say it or not, if he should take a risk or not, if he should win or lose, if he only decides to dream or he starts to live. Éponine waited for him, but she didn't know what he wanted to say to her, she didn't say a word. They were two souls that didn't wish to say a word because of fear. Suddenly, Enjolras understood when he fixedly saw the young girl again, his love. There was nothing to be afraid of. He approached to her and approached her to him touching her waistline; he noticed that she trembled at the contact of his hands and that made him happy because he felt her love. She wasn't afraid to fall anymore because she knew that he was protecting her. Enjolras took a breath one more time. Their faces were too close.
"The reason why I survive that awful experience was because of you, you are my reason to live Éponine and I want to make you my wife" he said.
Éponine's eyes shone brightly. Her heartbeats ran faster because of what she heard.
"I'll be your wife in this and one hundred thousand lives, even more!" she replied and happily he carried her and started to revolve then their lips found to each other. Nothing else mattered for them but their love.
