Chapter 1

"One rainy night in Paris, there was a girl running. The brisk wind cut through her wet, tattered dress. She felt like she was running for hours through the slums of the city, when in fact, it was only minutes. She knew he would send someone after her but she dreamed he wouldn't. She wanted to be free of him; escape from the life she is living. She didn't want to steal or lie or cheat her way through life anymore. She didn't want to be part of his schemes to get money. Her name was Éponine, and she wanted to start over."

After a chance encounter two years ago, Éponine and Enjolras's paths cross again. However this time will it develop into a relationship, or are the obstacles they face too much?
