Chapter 10 – A grander thing

There was never a grander thing than two voices raised in song.

Our voices complimented each other, her shy, sweet one mixing with my strong, powerful one. I glanced over at her, ( 'my fiance' my mind registered) and was overwhelmed by this sense of happiness, and of love. Ad I listened to her beautiful voice, I loved her with a fierce intensity like nothing I'd ever felt before. I stopped suddenly, as my throat closed up. Christine looked over at me.

"What's wrong, my darling?" she asked, dropping down to sit on the piano bench next to me.

I took her in my arms, burying my face in her hair, breathing in her scent. She put her arms around me, and we held each other for a minute.

"Christine…" I breathed, "You have given me more than I have ever hoped for. You have given me all the happiness in the world, and then some."

Her eyes brightened. "I'm only giving you as much happiness as you've brought me." She replied.

"Oh, Christine," I sighed, burrowing my face in her hair again.

She sighed as well. "Erik…" she whispered softly.

And there we sat, two people eternally joined by the bonds of love. And no matter how clumsy Raoul is, he cannot break a bond of love.

My domain:

Sorry for the shortness, but I think it's quality, not quantity that counts. ;)

How'd you like? grins eagerly, and waits for (hopefully) excited reviews
