Fantine had left her number with Ursule and driven to the address Jean Valjean had given her, in a small car rented for the purpose. She'd never had her own car, and only in the last year or so had she had money to take cabs. Still, she made it unaided, and pulled onto the street without any incident.
Once she'd gotten out and walked to the doorstep, she took a breath trying to will the terror away. She'd never had a reason to distrust her savior. If he said that Cosette wanted to see her, that it would be okay, she would have to believe that. She'd had dreams of every outcome over the years, from utter repudiation to her daughter falling into her arms, and now it was the moment. She wasn't used to being afraid. Despair, yes; until she'd been hired she'd been sure that she would expire one night on the street, a nameless Jeanne Dupont to be buried by the city in a potter's grave.
Now she was somewhat successful, dressed well, and beautiful, and she found herself hoping that not only Cosette, but Valjean, would approve.
She rang the bell, hoping she didn't look as terrified as she felt deep down.
