Hello readers!
I'm sorry I haven't sent anything in a while, I've been quite sick all week... and I feel ashamed to give you only a short chapter today, hope you will understand...
Enjoy,

Chapter 25
Hurt
Josephine woke up very sore, with a headache strong enough to split her skull in two. What happened? She tried to sit up, only to feel white burning pain in her left arm and left foot.
-"Don't move." Erik said to her right. "You're hurt."
That, she figured as much. What she could not understand and absolutely wanted to know, was why she was hurt and in bed, so she asked, before she could help it.
-"You don't remember?" He frowned and she shook her painful head no. "You fell down the stairs. Your left wrist is broken and your left ankle is splinted."
Oh… It was then she remembered what happened, their conversation, if she could call it that, then Erik telling her to go to her bedroom and finally the fall. She felt light headed and quite upset when she began climbing the stairs and her legs gave away, just like that, making her falling all the way down the twenty marble steps.
-"You must stay in this bed as much as possible, for at least three weeks." He said surprisingly softly
-"I-I'm sorry…" She mumbled
-"You don't have to be sorry for anything, mademoiselle." He whispered. "Your state is entirely my fault and I am not only talking about today's accident, but your blindness. I was the one setting fire to the opera house."
-"But you were not the one pushing me into the fire."
