Erik would leave before Madam Geri would come around and wake the singers and dancers for the day. Only leaving his symbol the red rose with the black ribbon. Jessica had found this in the morning and went to her sister for answer.

"I'm not sure what it is." Jennifer said when she says it after she smelled it. Therefore, the girls went to Madam Geri.

"Madam Geri do you know where this came from?" Jessica asks handing over the rose. Madam Geri looked down at the rose then to Jessica.

"Which one you got this? It's very important." She said looking back at the rose.

"I did…what does it mean?" Jessica looked at her.

"It mean Erik is pleases with you. He is the Phantom of the Opera, a very dear friend of mine," She said handing the rose back. High above them Erik watched Jessica talk to Madam Geri who was a good friend if not his only friend he had. Erik smiled as she used the ribbon to tie back her hair and the rose in the bun. Erik would laugh as Jessica and Jennifer would dances around the stage and mock Charlotte and Christian.

"I see you found something to help you heal." Madam Geri said standing next to him looking down.

"Yes she is a rose with many thorns. Do we know how she got that scare?" Erik looked at her from the side. Madam Geri shook her head.

"Not much is known of them…hmmm they should lighten the mood around here." Madam Geri began to walk away. Erik watched those practices though out the day.

Later after dinner the girls where sitting in their room reading and talking. Soon Erik was back to where he was the night before watching them. Jessica had placed the rose in a book, which what seems to have a note attached to the stem.

"I hope he comes tonight and get his rose and his gift." Jessica whispered as Jennifer yawned.

"Well you can stay up and wait for Erik, but I'm not, Night sis." Jennifer said hugging her sister and went off. Erik waited for Jessica to fall a sleep and when she finally did, he slid the mirror open and walked over to the book and the note it said: Erik,

Please take this book and I hope you enjoy it.

Jessica

Erik smiled and saw it was the Iliad and Odyssey; he had read this from a library but did not own a copy of it. He bends down and whispered softly "Thank you, your very kind."

She moved a bit.

"You're welcome…" Her eyes where barely open she whispered, "Are you really the phantom?" she curled up under the covers.

"Yes I'm…get some sleep you need your rest." He began to move away she reached out and touched his hand.

"Come back Friday night we can talk then, I have Saturday and Sunday off…" Jessica nearly fell a sleep saying that much. Erik smiled and tucked her in.

Erik softly pushed some of her hair be hide her ear and whispered "Of course my angel of music." He left and let her sleep for the night.

Though out the week he would watch those practices, Jessica and Jennifer kept up mocking Charlotte. Jessica had asked Madam Geri if she could have dinner in her room with Erik, Madam Geri agreed and had is arranged. Jessica walked in to find Erik sitting down already. Jessica quickly smiled and shut the door; she took her seat across from him.

"How was practice?" Erik asked as they began to eat dinner. He knew how it went, he watched her but he did not want her to know that.

Jessica shrugged "ok I guess…got bored like normal to the end of it." Jessica looked up at Erik; she knew that he had watched her. "Got any tips for me?" She smiled as they finished the soup.

Erik wiped his mouth and looked up "Well you could let your eyes wonder as if you're looking at the sky." They talked long into the night, finally told Jessica how to get to the dock and call out to him if she wanted to visit, he left and she went on to bed.
