   Summary

   Valjean drags Javert onto the riverbank of the Seine, saving the man's life by pure instinct rather than anything else. As he nurses the man back to health, however, he realizes that by saving Javert's life, he has saved himself as well. The two men begin to discover an unlikely friendship, one that contains the seeds of something far more dangerous and enticing.
