Chapter 10
Raoul weighed his options for several weeks, but still ate and slept normally so his servants wouldn't worry. They knew that he went to see a man called Erik. Now he was sure they knew something was wrong. But he was thankful that no one asks. Friendship was about trust. Trust was about honesty. Avoiding Erik these past few weeks probably didn't help their friendship. At the same time Raoul didn't think he could continue being his friend when he wasn't totally honest with the other man.
Raoul missed Erik terribly...and he would have to accept the fact that if he was honest he may never see Erik again. Raoul sighed and stood he decided he rather be honest and loose Erik as a friend then live constantly hoping Erik would touch him like he had been. That would be wrong. Raoul sucked in a breath as he walked out of his estate and made the very familiar route to Erik's house. He stopped once to look at the Opera House. He wondered if Christine had known.
He shook his head as he found himself looking at Erik's door. This was it, the moment of truth. He lifted his hand and sucked in a deep breath and knocked. What ever happened...Raoul promised himself that he would not cry until he got back home. The door opened and Raoul's eyes popped out of his head. It was not Erik looking back at him, but a very surprised looking Christine. Raoul felt his heart drop and he swallowed hard.
