*She blinked, looking slightly taken aback.* You're...wow. You're very special, aren't you?

"I'm just different."

**NEW DAY** *Scarlett arrived early one morning, her eyes swollen and red and looking an absolute mess. She began cleaning quickly, tears occasionally streaking down her face as she worked.*

*Eponine was walking to the kitchen when she caught sight of Scarlett.*
"Scarlett? What's wrong?" *She motioned for the younger woman to sit down on the couch next to her.*

Nothing's wrong, ma'am. *She sniffled, wiping her eyes quickly and cleaning the floor with a determination bordering on violence.*

*Eponine stayed the mop.*
"Scarlett, there's something wrong. I've had enough things wrong to realize when something's wrong."

I'm fine. *She maneuvered the mop away from Eponine and went back to cleaning, still wiping her tears furiously.*

"You can't keep it in, chere. I can't make you share it, but you'll only go crazy if you try to work through it alone." *She said softly. Her deep, dark eyes spoke volumes about the truth of her statement.*

*She laughed bitterly.* Going crazy would be a welcome alternative to my life right now, ma'am.

"Don't call me Ma'am. I'm Eponine, and I can tell you right now that I don't intend to ever be called ma'am by anyone."

Fine, then. Going crazy would be a welcome alternative to my life right now, Eponine.

**EPONINE**
*She nodded, to herself, when she heard how Scarlett was speaking.*
"Whatever it is, Scarlett, people get hurt when you keep it in. You may be hurting, but there's no reason to hurt the people you love." *She said, moving back to the kitchen where she was making something or other.*
