"Learn to Love Again"
by Dakota Reighn


Preface

"The woman I loved is...dead..." That was how his story began. Christian loved Satine, she was his world. And then, suddenly, she was gone. Satine died in his arms on the opening night of "Spectacular; Spectacular." Now he was left with nothing, nothing except for his grief.
Things had been buzzing around the Moulin Rouge after a rich man who wanted to use it as a theater had bought it. Christian didn't want anything to do with the Moulin Rouge anymore and planned to leave France immediately. That was until he crossed paths with Abrielle.
She was a striking French actress who would be moving into Christian's room. But he wasn't about to let her take it without a fight. So there they were together, both represented the old and the new of the Moulin Rouge. Little did Christian know what part Abrielle would be playing in the soon to be re-vamped "Spectacular; Spectacular."
Joining together to tell the greatest love story known to France, Christian and Abrielle would grow closer together, even if it was against both of their wills.
"I love you..." Were the last words Christian expected to hear from Abrielle, but they were true. Could Christian deny his mounting feelings for Abrielle and hold onto the love of a memory, or can he accept Abrielle's plea and learn to love again?
