*Bella blushed again at him saying he couldn't refuse her.* Thank you. *She glanced down at her gown as though she had just noticed that she was still very dressed up* You're right, it'll stand out quite a bit...Is it alright if I do borrow something?

*He nodded.*
"I would offer to have Betsy, the housekeeper, help you, but she displays a staunch loyalty to my sister-in-law. Emiline's closet is full, her new husband completely re-outfitted her as a wedding gift. I'm sure you'll find something that would fit, even if she was notably heavier than you."

*She smiled up at him* Thank you so much. I can dress myself. I'll be right back. *She slipped out of the kitchen and back up the stairs to Emiline's room.*

*He waited patiently, sitting back down and sipping at his coffee.*

*Bella walked back into the kitchen a short while later, looking ravishing in a dark blue dress which flattered her still-slim figure and made her blue eyes look almost navy. Her long hair was brushed out and shiny, falling in a solid sheet of gold down her back. She smiled at him brightly.* Is this ok?

*He was speechless for a second and could only stare. How she had found that in Emiline's closet was beyond him, Emiline had been massive.*
"I... It's... It's perfect. I don't know why this Christian would choose anyone over you." *He said, thinking out loud, then realizing his blunder and blushing in a very manly way, not meeting her eyes.*
"The carriage is outside." *He said bluntly, offering her his arm and still looking at the floor.*
((BTW, I drew an awesome pic of Bella and Enjy at the opera. Well, Bella and Enjy are awesome, I can't say the artistry is amazing. I'm going to post the linework then have a friend color it.))

((Ooh! Awesome! ;D ))
*She took his arm, flushing very brightly as she did so.* Well, thank you. But Christian is...um, Sydney is...*She shook her head* Never mind.

*He kept looking at the floor and led her to the carriage, helping her in.*
((I shall create a new thread "in the carriage" in errewhere else.))

**NEW NIGHT**
*Enjolras led Marius in, pouring two glasses of good brandy and seating them at the small table in the room.*
"To feeling alive." *He said, raising his glass.*

"To Bella...'s health."
*He quickly sipped his brandy and avoided Enjolras' eye.*

*Enjolras cleared his throat sternly, then drank, closing his eyes and savoring the taste.*

*Bella slipped into the kitchen for a snack, still wearing the robe that matched her eyes and flattered her slim figure. ((Of course)) Her eyes widened when she saw the pair already in the kitchen, and she turned, trying to get back away without being noticed.*

*Marius sighed.*
"It's just...ever since Cosette died...I never thought I'd feel anything ever again."

*Enjolras noticed Bella, but realized that she would probably want to ignore them. Thank god Marius's back was to her.*
*His eyes flicked back to Marius.* "Marius... you're grieving, whether for her or for what she did to you, or even maybe both. It's hard to feel while you're grieving. Don't be upset about it... but don't jump all over the first beauitufl woman you meet, either." *He said.* "I may not know a lot about love, but grief I do know about."
