Author's note: This is going to be a little different. I am branching
away from the usually MR fics. I hope you will like it. I am still a
relatively new writer so any comments or criticism would be greatly
appreciated.

Chapter 1: An Unexpected Gift
A persistent knock interrupted his thoughts once again. Christian reluctantly left his typewriter to answer the door. He readied himself with a scathing retort for the person who dared to interrupt him as he threw open the door, but all words left him when he saw whom his visitor was. For there stood Harold, the man who Christian had not spoken with since the opening night of that dreaded play. After a long silence, Zidler cleared his throat and said, "Uh. Hello Christian. I know we haven't spoken lately but I needed to talk to you. Recently I was packing Satine's things to put away. I had heard you were writing a book about.about you and .Satine. I thought . you might find use for this." He hesitantly held out a book.
Christian quickly snatched the book out of his hands, hungry to touch anything belonging to his love. He gazed at the cover, wondering how a book could help him, and saw no title. He opened the cover and read the first page. The first words read, "Dear Diary, ." He closed the book suddenly, pain and love warring to in his features. He fought back his emotions, not wanting to breakdown in front of Harold. "Thank you. You have no idea how much this means to me," he said in a hoarse whisper.
Harold looked back at him pity and compassion in his eyes. "It is what she would have wanted. Goodbye." With that Harold turned and walked away. Christian stared blankly knowing he would probably never see Harold Zidler again.

A/N: I know it was short, but it is just the beginning. I will write more soon. Feel free to read my other story "Twisted Tragedy." I chapters for this may be few and far between as I am currently writing a sequel to TT as well. Well, thanks for reading. Please, please, please review!
