It was mid-afternoon when Christine flew through her dressing-room door and gave it a peevish slam. "Horrid, stupid Carlotta!" she stormed, kicking the ornate wood crossly. "She wouldn't know a note of real music if it pierced her through her wretched heart!"
As if in response, a flash of red caught Christine's eye. A bouquet lay in the middle of the floor - but these were dismissed almost out-of-hand as she pounced in search of the note.
Something - a note of real music, perhaps? - trembled in her middle as she read the words in Erik's bold hand -
"Christine - I love you."
