A/N: I'm out of ideas for any long fanfics, but I have plenty for little ones and they just want to be written! Please enjoy this, and vive le vicomte!
You don't have to let me go free.
I want to see that beautiful, sparkling smile brimming on your face, and both you and I know that it will cease to exist if you choose to set me free. You'll live with this madman for the rest of your days, and it will only torture me to know how unhappy you are.
We want to be together. We both know that, but it can't happen now, Christine. Either I die and you go free, or you will be condemned to a fate as bad as death and I will go free.
Ask yourself one question: what do you truly want? If you want to sacrifice your happiness for my sake, let it be. But if you want to live your life in a normal fashion, I will be willing to die.
I love you, Christine. I love you more than life.
So don't do what is best for me. Do what is best for you. You don't have to let me go free.
