(Erik and Christine return to Erik's lair, Christine goes to change into dry cloths and returns to find Erik sitting in a chair reading a book, he looks up from the book and puts it down.)
Erik: Now will you tell me why you have come back to this..this ..place?
Christine: I just wasn't pleased with the life that Raoul was giving me, I missed my angel too much.
Erik: Christine, I have missed you, I have had to suffer through heart brake, through torment that I have never had to suffer, (A/N: and those of you who know Erik's past know that he has suffered a lot of torment), and only time will be able to mend my shattered heart.
Christine: Erik I will do anything to help, I will do anything you ask, (A/N: anything ehh? Sorry I just had to add that.) just don't send me back to Raoul, I can't stand it with him.
Erik: Christine, what has he done to you?
Christine: He….he. It really was nothing, but to me it was everything. I couldn't sing, every time I would sing, he would get mad at yell at me, he would yell, he would get so angry. Soon I became to frightened to even speak. So I did the only thing that I knew I could, I left him. And I went to find the one person who knows all about torment and suffering, I went to find my angel.
Erik: Christine, did Raoul ever strike you, or even threaten to? (Christine looks away) Christine look at me.
He hated to be harsh, but it was the only way to get across to her
Erik: Did Raoul ever strike you or threaten to?
Christine: (She looks at him) No he never did, he just took everything away from me that mattered. Please let me stay here with you. Please don't make me go back there.
Erik: I won't do anything to torment you. Come you must get some sleep.
