It was just so nice to have someone to talk to.
{Christine}
After that particular evening, we fall into a pleasant routine. I go to the rehearsal every day and always strive to make Erik proud; then I visit him at his home, where we have voice lessons together, followed by some leisure time.
I am loving every minute of it. With every passing day, we are getting to know each other more and more, thanks to which he is becoming one of the best friends I have ever had.
Not that I have had many…
Nonetheless, I am quite shocked to discover just how likeable Erik is. Knowing that he has done some terrible things in the past, having seen the way he threatens everyone in the Opera House, and just how unpredictable and dangerous he can be, I should not trust him so. And yet, there is no one else with whom I would rather be presently.
I cannot help by wonder whether I shall develop some romantic feelings towards him as well.
Raoul used to be my friend and nothing happened between the two of us, so perhaps such will be the case with me and Erik as well…
"I brought you a blanket and hot chocolate, Christine." Erik's soft voice snaps me out of these thoughts. "I fear it is quite chilly down here tonight," he explains.
"Oh, is it? I did not notice," I smile at him, taking the mug out of his hand.
"Well, I shan't take any chances." Erik shakes his head, wrapping a fluffy coverlet around my legs.
"You are too kind," I say.
He is clearly not accustomed to any kind of praises.
His delicate blush tells me so.
I suuuuck at replaying, I know! But I've got only two classes tomorrow so I shall thank you personally then. I appreciate every single one of you more than you realise, I hope you know that by now.
All my love xx
