Chapter 8

I walked down the city streets of Paris. People were swarming all around me. Le Maitre had given me permission to find you and cancel the wedding. I was not looking forward to the task at hand but at least I would see you again. I stopped an older man and asked:

"Do you know where the Vicomte De Chany lives?" You had obviously moved from your house till it was repaired.

"I heard he was living with his brother The Comte. He lives in a mansion just down the road."

"Thank You." I said smiling. He simply nodded and continued on his way. I almost ran down the street, dodging people and food stands. I made it to a large brick house, with roses occupying a few spaces by the door.

My stomach twisted inside of me as I waked to the door. I knocked against the oak door and a maid quickly answered.

"Yes?" she said politely

"I would like to see The Vicomte."

"Oh I'm sorry but he won't see anyone."

"He'll want to see me. You must let me through."

"No Mademoiselle, after his fiancée's disappearance, he has requested not to see anyone." She said trying to block every space on the door so that I did not even try to get in.

"But, I am his fiancée."

"Oh, I'm so sorry. Please come in I will show you to his room." I followed her up the stairs. My heart started to race, and I had butterflies in my stomach.

She led me to a room and slightly opened the door. Through the small space she said into the room:

"Vicomte? There is someone here to see you."

"I don't want to see anyone." The sound of your voice made my stomach turn. The maid stepped back from the door and motioned for me to go in. The door made a loud creaking sound as I opened it. I immediately saw you sitting in a chair beside the window. You looked so dazed and did not even notice my presence. Your eyes were red, as if you had been crying. My eyes filled with tears at the thought of me having to leave you again.

"Raoul?" I whispered. Your head shot over to me.

"Christine." You said as you hurried over to me and pulled me into an embrace. By this time tears were flowing down my cheeks and on to your shoulder.

You pulled away.

"Oh Darling what is it? What happened to you."

"Oh Raoul. . ." I was so nervous. How could I break your heart like this. "Raoul my darling, you know I love you with all my heart and want to spend the rest of my life with you ,right?"

"Yes."

"Love. . .I'm so sorry but . . .I can't marry you." I said between sobs. You looked at my quizzically.

"What? Why not?"

"I can't tell you."

"Christine I deserve an answer."

"Yes, yes I know. But I can't. . ." I let my sentence trail off. "Raoul I must leave, but know that you will always be the man that I want to spend my life with. . ."

"So why are you leaving me?" You interrupted .Your eyes had also filled with tears.

"It is not by choice. But don't follow me when I leave. Promise me you won't?" You had the same expression Erik had on his face on The night we left.

"I promise." you whispered.

"You have my permission to get married to someone else." You nodded, and would not look me in the eye. I went over to you and wrapped my arms around you and whispered in your ear:

"Think of me Fondly. Goodbye" I placed a kiss upon your cheek and left the room. As I walked down the stairs I whispered to myself:

"A thousand times goodbye my Love."

XXXX

Think of me
think of me fondly,
when we've said goodbye.
Remember me
once in a while -
please promise me
you'll try.
When you find
that, once
again, you long
to take your heart back
and be free -
if you
ever find
a moment,
spare a thought
for me
We never said
our love
was evergreen,
or as unchanging
as the sea -
but if
you can still
remember
stop and think
of me . . .
Think of all the things
we've shared and seen -
don't think about the things
which might have been . . .
Think of me,
think of me waking,
silent and
resigned.
Imagine me,
trying too hard
to put you
from my mind.
Recall those days
look back
on all those times,
think of the things
we'll never do -
there will
never be
a day, when
I won't think
of you .
Flowers fade

The fruits

Of summer fade

Nb but please
promise me,
that sometimes
you will think
of me

Did you like it? or no? please review and tell me.
