Chapter 20"Make sure no one sees you," Erik said helping to put Christine's winter coat on.
"I will," she replied.
"Take care," he said adjusting it.
"I will."
There was a moment when they just gazed at each other and then he leaned forward and gave her a long and passionate kiss. Soon they broke it off and gazed once again lovingly into their eyes.
"I wish that I could have gone with you."
"I know, Erik. But I understand and don't worry. I'm old enough now to take care of myself."
Attempting a smile, Erik responded, "That's what I'm afraid of."
"I'll be alright," she responded.
"In case anyone spots you, come back here quickly. Understand?"
"Yes. And as I just said, stop being so worried."
Christine then put a shawl around her coat to keep her extra warm and advanced towards the door.
She was so concerned over the tone of Erik's voice that she started questioning whether it was a good idea to go out.
What if someone was to notice her?
What then?
Slowly she turned around to hear Erik enough saying her name in a whispered silence.
"Christine…"
Smiling to herself she said, "I love you."
Christine then walked back and gave him another quick kiss, "I mean it."
He just nodded his head with a smile and without another word she turned to leave.
