Disclaimer: Okay it as been almost TWO MONTHS since I last updated (hangs
head and blushes) oops I think this is more than a little over due, I
apologize. My muses have been great lately and I dedicate this chapter to
both of them for keeping me together when I all but fall apart.
The Muses Afternoon Off
Arianna had been wracking her brain for weeks trying to think of a way to thank everyone for their on going concern and support. She had already thanked them all personally but she still felt it was all inadequate. After all she had never experienced such support in her life, everyone had pulled together to keep things running smoothly for her sake. This of course gave her the time she needed to sort through the waves of emotions that threatened to drown her. She was still deep in thought when she walked in to her office and she wasn't thinking when she turned on her stereo. She froze as the first notes hit her hard. Of all the CDs that could have been in the player it had to be Doyle's last album. Arianna was surprised that the tears did not come but instead a calmness that she had never known. Now she knew how to thank all her fellow muses.
Christine was ecstatic, never before had she had an afternoon off as a muse. She could not wait to tell Raoul that they could finally see all their friends again. It had been so long since she had even seen Meg let alone talk to her and she knew that Raoul had missed talking to Philippe. Now they had the perfect opportunity thanks to Arianna. Christine was so excited in fact that she almost knocked Raoul over when he walked in the door. He could only laugh at her expression of pure joy.
"You're in an exceptionally good mood." he laughed as he hugged her back.
"I should be. Arianna has given us all the afternoon off to attend a concert and you know how much I love music." she said still wrapped in his arms.
"An afternoon off huh? That is awfully nice of her. Who will be performing?" he asked as he set her down on the ground.
"Let's see. The memo says that Doyle Waters will sing a few songs along with Arianna and Erik." she said with huge smile, "We can see Meg and Philippe now."
"That will be so nice. We have been so busy lately. And now we have a chance to relax." he said as he kissed her forehead, "Now let's go get ready for our afternoon off."

I know a rather short chapter but the next will be better I just know it. Next chapter: The Concert. I honestly don't know when it will be up with Thanksgiving coming up but it will be someday I promise.
