Grantaire Eponines Lasts

Éponine had long since come to accept and appreciate Grantaire’s friendship. She’d even accepted that he loved her. But what she still wasn’t prepared for was the reality that Grantaire’s love for her was evidently something even greater than romantic infatuation.A friendship that was greater than romance? This was a foreign concept to her… and it was threatening. It threatened her entire framework of what was worth living and dying for. It threatened everything she’d been clinging to in order to survive her miserable existence. Her infatuation for Marius was her raison d’être — and justly so, she thought. The primacy of the romantic dream was the rope that had been thrown to her as she struggled to tread the grimy waters of a life of suffering. And now, Grantaire was threatening to sever that rope.
