Erik woke up quite early that morning, Christine still beside him. He smiled, slowly and gently got up. He went to talk to Madam Giry about breakfast. He knocked on her door, in his special way. She opened it for him to enter. Madam Giry was like his mother, she had found him being tormented and brought him to live in the Opera House. He was greatly in debt to her. He wanted to be the first one to tell her what had been going on.

"Christine and I are in love!"

She looked at him with a smile on her face.

"She is quite a girl isn't she that Christine The vicomte told me he didn't understand her, he wanted her for himself, but when he asked her to dinner she said no. She told him she had other plans."

"She did that for me?"

"That's the way it looks" she said smiling. Erik's face lit up with joy.

"She is wearing my ring now, and soon I want to ask her to marry me"

"Speaking of Christine have you seen her, I went in to check on the girls and she was missing, I didn't want to make a fool of myself, so I decided not to say anything until I asked you."

"She's in my house, she came there in the middle of the night last night. I woke up and she was lying next to me, I held her in my arms all night. I didn't want to let go this morning, but I wanted to talk to you about breakfast, that's right I was going to ask you. Do you think that you could bring us some breakfast?"

"That I can do, but you better get back to Christine before she wakes. She might be afraid there all alone."

Erik nodded and went frolicking through the halls, he was happy and nothing could ruin that! When he returned, Christine was still asleep, he went to his organ and began playing. He knew that if she awoke, she could find him. The song began pouring from his fingertips, this was it, the song of all songs. This was the song that would make Christine realize how special she was to him.

Madam Giry came with the breakfast.

"Thank you I much appreciate this."

"You're welcome, enjoy!"

Erik went into the bedroom and kissed Christine on the cheek. She awoke with a smile.

"Good morning my angel" he said with a grin.

"Goooood mooorning" she yawned.

"Are you hungry, I have breakfast?"

She nodded hoping it was something good, she didn't want to admit that she hadn't eaten all day yesterday, because of the excitement.

They sat down at a beautiful mahogany table and enjoyed their breakfast.

Soon after Christine had to return to the practice room for their next opera. Erik kissed her goodbye and walked her to the mirror.
