*He was laughing as he caught her, her momentum knocking him over*
"And YOU are the loveliest, most enthusiastic, most brilliant wife ever!"

*She turned pink but in a happy way and was content to simply lie there, having tackled him and expended her momentary burst of frantic energy.*
"I love you." *She said happily, resting her chin on his chest so she could look him in the eye.*

"I love you, too, ma cherie."
*He hugged her to him, settling that way with her in his arms*
"What do you think, hmm? Leave as soon as possible?"

*She nodded, grinning.*
"I've never been out of Paris, you know."

*She shook her head.* "Nowhere. Maman couldn't afford ot take us anywhere and when she was gone... well, he wasn't exactly fit to be going places."

"He...your father?"

*She shook her head.*
"My father died just after I was born, and evidently wasn't the kind of person who would have raised me anyway. No, I was talking ab..." *Then she went pale as she realized exactly who she was talking about.* "Ab... about... the other Marius." *She said softly.*

*He blinked at her, falling silent for a moment. The other Marius. He had a feeling that the ghost of his doppleganger would be haunting him for quite some time*
"Oh. I'm sorry. About your real father, I mean."

*She shrugged as best she could, glad to be off the other topic of conversation.*
"I had Maman, and Auntie Renn, and him... it was a weird family, but it was enough of one for me." *She knew very well that she never would have been allowed into the society or the schools she had without being the other Marius's ward... and was thankful, especially for the mention in his will, but it hurt so bitterly to think about him that she just didn't.*

*He fell silent for a moment*
"Renn? I don't think I've met her." He finally said.
He was carefully avoiding mention of the other Marius. It was a subject that was going to be sensitive for a long time, if it ever stopped being that way.*

"Mom's roommate for a long time. We'd just moved out when you showed up, because she got a boyfriend and had a daughter and it just got really angsty crowded."

*Probably thinking of what happened with Eponine, he said--*
"Does she know you're married?"

"I think Maman told her." *Her index finger traced invisible patterns on his chest, her fingernail just grazing his skin.*

"Mmm."
*He pulled her up a bit, so that he could kiss her squarely on the mouth*
