Fandom Post Office, Tuesday, March 5

She'd cashed her first paycheck last Friday, but Éponine had never had that much money in her life before and to tell the truth honestly had no idea what to do with it. Granted, a good chunk of it had gone toward food and alcohol, and maybe she was being a little too reckless with her spending just because the idea of being able to expect more money this week was such a novelty that it had gone to her head a bit, but some habits were hard to break. Still, she'd even managed to get herself a new set of clothes, and a pair of shoes that fit.

That was surreal enough, still, that as she went about the post office sorting packages and making sure supplies were in stock she kept stopping to poke at the sleeve of her own coat, or stare down at her feet, just to make sure she wasn't imagining things. (It was hard to tell, sometimes.)

The five-franc piece she'd never spent was still in her pocket, though, and every now and then she'd take it out and turn it over in her hands a few times, humming distractedly, before putting it away again.
