Author's Note: Yikes! Took so long to update but I'm back! The internet is still not working at home meaning I have to update only while I'm in school. Also, I was sick for 3 days and had work to make up. I'm really sorry but I hope that this makes up for it. Please forgive me.
Chapter 15
Christine woke up the next morning back in her bed. She took a moment to think about what happened and then she remembered about the previous night. She looked at her hand and realized the ring was still there.
She and Erik had gotten married. Then she remembered something else.
Erik and her…
She turned over to see if he was there but alas, he was gone.
She took a deep breath, got up, and put her night robe tightly around her.
She then proceeded to the main area to look for Erik.
As usual, there he was at this piano playing so softly that Christine wouldn't hear while she was resting.
Christine walked towards him and put her arms around his neck.
"Hello," she whispered as she stroked her cheek against his head.
"Mornin'," he said taking her into his arms. "Are you alright?"
"Why, of course. Why wouldn't I be?"
"Just wondering…" he said smiling.
"I thought that you would be there this morning with me."
"I didn't want you to see me. To be scared of my face when you woke up."
"I wouldn't," she said reassuringly.
"I-I love you." Erik said after a long pause.
"I know and I love you too," Christine aid kissing him.
"I have to go for some errands outside," he said, "I'd prefer that you don't come, at least for now since they might still be looking for you."
"I understand," Christine replied.
"Christine-" he began.
"Yes."
He was about to say something when he stopped himself. Instead, he kissed her on her forehead and said, "I'll be back shortly. Stay here." Then he left Christine surrounded with morning candlelight all around her.
