Chapter 9: The New Beginning
Christine was back home.
Things were back to normal again. She was once again living the life of a refined housewife. The wife of Raoul.
She was once again throwing elegant parties. Once again helping to cook and clean. Once again living with and loving Raoul. Everything was the same as it had always been.
Well...maybe a little different.
Christine smiled and looked out her bedroom window in the direction of the opera house. She had left Erik again, but this time there had been no angry words or tears. They left each other with a warm embrace and the promise to see each other again someday.
Yes, Christine thought, they would see each other again someday...
...after all, Erik Jr would be wanting to meet his father.
Christine rested her hand fondly on her expanded stomach for a moment. She took one last look at the window and turned away.
She would see him again. Someday.
