Chapter 8"I'm quite surprised that this part of your lair did not get hurt by the flames," Christine said as she made her way throughout it with Erik behind her.
"Me either," he said taking a seat in an old chair where he ran his head through his hands.
"Christine…"
"Yes?" she said moving closer to him.
"Maybe this wasn't a good idea. I-I don't have much to offer you,' he said looking up at her.
"Material things don't matter," she said proceeding to sit next to him and stroke his hair, "Not as long as I have you."
Erik smiled and leaned up to kiss her.
"You mean so much to me, Christine," he said.
"Same here."
"I'll get you some food from the other room and maybe later we can talk some more," he getting up.
"Alright," she said sitting back down after.
He was about to leave when Christine said, "Erik?"
"Yes?" he said turning around to face her.
"I love you."
With tears of happiness his eyes he smiled and said "I love you too," before her left.
