Cosette liked her papa. He was calm and gentle, but she saw something in his eyes. She didn't know what it was. He didn't make her do chores or stay up late. Cosette was sitting in the living room playing with her new doll laughing a little to herself. Valjean was reading the newspaper close to her with a small smile on his face. "Look Papa, she's a beautiful princess," Cosette said holding up the doll. Valjean smiled at her.
"That's wonderful, Cosette," he said back looking up at her. Her hair was still wet from her bath. It wasn't hard to bathe her, but she didn't know what to do with what was happening. "Did you name her yet?" Valjean asked, putting the paper down. The girl shook her head.
"No, I don't know what to call her," she answered looking down at the small doll with blonde hair and a blue hat on. "I've never had a doll before," she added looking to the fount door which opened. Valjean tried to hide the finch.
"Valjean? Are you two home?" Valjean looked down at Cosette and smiled a little at her.
"I'll be right back," he said standing up slowly. He winched a little at his leg, but Cosette didn't notice.
Javert sighed when he saw Valjean walk up to him. "Hello, Javert," Valjean said looking at Cossette. Javert nodded.
"Hello," was all Javert said as he walked into the house. Valjean followed him. "What did you both do today?" Javert asked standing in the living room. Valjean stood in front of him with his hands behind his back.
"We did a little shopping and the little one had a bath. Did you have fun today dear?" Valjean asked. Cosette smiled at him and nodded.
"Yes, Pappa," she said before she ran out of the room. "I'm going to play outside. If that's ok," she asked in the doorway. Valjean smiled at her.
"Yes, dear. Don't go too far alright?" Valjean told her. She nodded before she ran off.
Valjean looked up at Javert who was watching him. His eyes were tired. Valjean didn't blame him. He wanted to ask him how his day was, but he kept his mouth shut. The two stood there awkwardly for a few seconds before Valjean left the room to watch Cosette.
