Epilogue
The sun is shining through the glass window. The birds are happily chirping outside of the window. I look around at the large room and take a deep breath. So much has changed over the past 4 months. Erik and I finally tied the knot 2 months ago. I know what you're thinking. She married the monster; the terrifying, mad man? Yeah, I did, but he's more than that to me. He's my best friend, literally.
He never regained his memory, but we've learned to take that one day at a time. I tell him all about my past, and he tells me all about his. I went back to my old home and retrieved some pictures to show him. We spend hours at a time just leafing thru all of them.
Oh, I failed to mention where we are living. Erik and I moved out from (under) the Opera House, and into a small cottage house in the country. We have complete privacy to do as we want, and no one can bother us. Erik especially likes that.
Also, there's a little one on the way! I'm not too far along, but I'm ready. Me and Erik have it all planned out. The names, the room, the toys, the clothes, everything. Can you tell that we're excited? Erik was nervous at first, but I have faith in him. I know that I can't wait to be a mother. Someone that another human being looks up to and adores.
Erik still has nightmares at night, and I wake him up from them to calm him down. I think there getting better, though, since he can sleep again after they are gone. He trusts me now, completely. I never thought the day would come, but it truly is God sent.
Oh, I hear the door being banged open, so he's home from hunting. I guess I better start supper. So, as we all know, this story had a happy ending. Now, why were you all so worried?
(Author's Note: I know, it's stupid, right? You can tell me the truth. LOL! I just wanted to complete it, because I hate not to. I'm sorry I kind of abandoned the story for so long, though, but I just couldn't think of anything else to add to it. Thanks to all of my faithful readers, for you are truly my inspiration.)
