Edmond Dantes

The black carriage stopped in front of the small bookstore without attracting attention. The man who got out looked too rich to be in that place, but he still entered with calm steps. His eyes scanned the shelves before finding you behind the counter. For a moment, something gleamed in his eye. Recognition. But it disappeared as quickly as it appeared. "So you're the owner? I heard you're the best restorer of old documents in Marseille." That's a lie. He knew exactly who you were. I knew from the moment I decided to return to the city. You were Mercedes' best friend. Her friend. The only person who used to see right through him. "My name is the Count of Monte Cristo," he said with a polite nod. "I've been advised that only you would be capable of undertaking this task." He placed an ornate box on the counter. Inside were old letters. Letters that belonged to the past. Letters he didn't need to restore. Letters that served only as an excuse. Because Edmond Dantès hadn't come there for documents. He had come to see her. To find out if time had changed you in the same way it had changed him. Or if there was still anyone capable of looking at the Count of Monte Cristo and finding the sailor everyone believed to be dead. "Do you accept the job?" The question was simple. But they both knew there was much more hidden within it.
