One week later Annette had already attended two more meetings, however, she decided to stay at the back with Grantaire and Gavroche because she was still trying to wrap her head around how things worked and how Enjolras liked things to be run, in relation to Enjolras, things between him and Annette had pretty much gone back to normal, well at least as normal as things could be between the two of them.

Annette was currently sitting down in her bedroom, trying to find something to entertain her, she had not done much the past two days, her brother had been busy studying and she had mostly spent her time either reading or painting with Monsieur Hubert and Celia as she had begun to quite enjoy their company.

However on her third day of having nothing to do, she concluded that reading and painting at home, no matter how entertaining it proved itself to be all throughout her life, just was not cutting it anymore, so with that in mind, she decided to head out into town since it was a beautiful day out.

As Annette walked through the doors of her favorite library she realized that it had been way too long since she had gone to the library and she promised herself she would come more often, after all, it was a space where she could be with herself and plus, it allowed her to leave the house.

As she walked in, she began browsing the books that were decorating the shelves, as she had already been to this library a few times, she already knew where most of the things were, but Annette loved looking at the books one by one, she believed it to be a part of the experience. As she grabbed a book from the shelf she saw an arm reaching over her and grabbing a book from the higher shelf.

She soon realized that the arm reaching over her was one she knew very well, as the sleeve was a very distinctive red color, turning around she was faced with Enjolras, who was now standing incredibly close to her because of her spin in his direction. They both looked at each other for a moment, before a small grin spread over Annettes features.

"Excuse me" spoke Annette quietly, her smile still gracing her features, causing a warm feeling to spread over Enjolras.

"Right" he replied whilst he moved away "sorry"

Annette looked at him silently while he looked for books, her gaze trapped in his movements, when he turned around, a book now in hand, he was surprised to see her still standing before him.
