Chapter 11
It was weeks after Erik and Christine had confessed their stories to each other that they had become closer. Staying in Erik's lair, they had no knowing of the outside world and what was happening at the moment.
Erik looked at the glittering object that was held in a box in his hand.
He had it for years. He still didn't know why he kept it exactly. Maybe it was the way it twinkled or the purpose and meaning that was held inside.
Erik had found it left behind late one night after a performance as he was wandering around near the main stage.
Without a care, he spotted it lying on the floor and picked it up.
A box.
He opened it and saw the content of what it held inside.
His heart fell.
Someone either left it behind or another didn't care for the gift.
Either way, hesitating a bit, he took it with him. He decided to keep it. He would sometimes check if anyone had come to the "Lost and Found" to see if the object that they claimed to be theirs was missing but alas no one ever claimed it.
It was so many years ago and now he claimed this token of love as his own.
Christine's 17th birthday was soon approaching.
Maybe then Erik could pass his gift on to Christine…
