Chapter Five - Coming Home

Éponine's POV

I felt safe in Joly's arms.
It was as if I was made to fit in his arms.
He was carrying me out of the café before I knew it.
I started shivering as soon as we were outside.
It was quite cold.
He set me down on the closest bench there was and put his coat around me.
''Thank you.'' I said as soon as he picked me up and started walking again.
''No problem, darling'' he said.
10 Minutes later we were at the front door of his house.
''Can you get the key out of the left pocket of my coat?'' he asked me.
''Of course.'' I said whilst reaching into his pocket to grab his key.
''Here it is.'' I said whilst holding up the key.
''Thank you, my love. Could you please open the door so I can carry you in?'' He said.

Joly's POV

Éponine opened the door and I closed the door with my foot as soon as we were inside.
I walked into the living room and lied her down on the couch.
''Welcome home, Éponine.'' I said smiling down at her whilst lifting my coat off her shoulders.
I lied it over the back of a chair and returned to Éponine's side.
''Thank you, my love. Can you show me around?'' she asked me.
I nodded and leaned down to pick her up again, but she protested.
''No, no! I want to try to walk!'' she said.
''No, Éponine! You are not allowed to walk.'' I said to her.
Éponine pouted and looked at me with pleading eyes.
''No, Éponine. Now let me prepare the bed for you.'' I said firmly and walked up the stairs.
I heard a lot of noise when I finished with preparing the bed for Éponine and ran down the stairs.
I was just in time to catch Éponine before she could hit the ground.
''Are you alright? What in the world were you trying to do?'' I asked her.
''I was trying to walk, but I fell when I stood up.'' She said.
I sighed.
''I shall show you around.'' I said.
I picked her up and showed her around.
As soon as we came to the bedroom I lied her down on our bed.
''This is the first time I'm lying in a comfortable bed!'' she said happily.
I smiled at her and lied down beside her.
''What do you think of our house?'' I asked her.
''I love it! I love everything about it! Thank you so much for bringing me here! I don't want to leave ever again!'' she said.
I kissed her.
''You don't have to leave. I never ever want you to leave again!'' I said.
