Raoul and Christine had fled to Scandinavia. There, they got married and
bought a house in the country side. They eventually had a child. It was a
girl. They named her Gabriella. She grew up to be a beautiful child, like
her mother. She had gorgeous blonde hair. She always seemed to have a glint
of joy in her eyes. She loved to sing. She sang as well as or better than
Christine.
When Gabriella turned ten Christine told her all about the Paris Opera
House and how she sang there, except about the Phantom. Gabriella would
pretend she was singing a lead role at the Paris Opera House. Whenever
Christine would tell Gabriella about the Paris Opera House Gabriella
noticed that she had a sad, far off look in her eyes. Whenever Gabriella
asked what was wrong she would always get the same answer, "Nothing."
One day Christine got enough courage to tell the story, but with different
names. She first told about the Angel of Music. Then she told Gabriella a
make believe story which was none other than her own story with the
Phantom. Gabriella loved the story and hated it. She had Christine tell it
to her every night.
Raoul and Christine knew how much Gabriella wanted to go to Paris and watch the opera and they knew even more how much she wanted to sing there.
"Christine, ever think of moving back to Paris?" Raoul said to Christine, "Erik is dead. The Persian told us so." "I would, but the memories haunt me." replied Christine. "It is all over. It is okay. Gabriella would love it. It is her dream to go there." said Raoul. Christine answered "Well. okay. Yes, let's move back to Paris."
