Their kiss ended, as he pulled away he looked at her. So beautiful, he was so in love with her. This girl who he had taught everything he had ever dreamed of, the one that he looked over. She was here now, in his home. She had just kissed him. He didn't want to say goodbye to this girl, but he knew that soon the managers would be looking for her.

"Christine" he said as he looked into her eyes, which were filled with a gleam, the look of love he hoped.

"I really wish you could stay, in no way do I want you to think that I don't care about you. I really do but the managers will be looking for you. We must return, but before we go, will you do me this one honor?"

She looked at him, desperate to see what he would say next.

"Will you wear this ring, a ring that symbolizes our friendship?"

He had wanted to say love, but he had no idea how she felt about him.

"No" she looked into his eyes. His heart dropped, how could she ever love him. This man trapped in the mask.

"I will wear this ring, as a symbol of our love!" she smiled and put on the ring.

Tears fell from his eyes, this is what he had always dreamed of, her. Now she was wearing his ring. He took her by the hand and took her back to the dressing room in which she had followed him from. They kissed once more, that was it they were both so in love!

"I will be sure to be at the performance tonight, goodnight my love" yet again they kissed.

"If you ever need me come through this mirror, it's the only way you can get to me safely, if you call me I will come!" He turned around walking back down the steps, he was exhilarated, she loved him. The girl who had gone through so much pain, the girl he cared for more than anything loved him. The greatest part of all, she didn't care to see or worry about what was under the mask.
