"Christine? Who was that I heard in there with you?" Raoul asked worriedly as Christine came out off the dressing room and she saw Annette, Meg, Blaire and Raoul staring at her. Christine shook her head, "it was nobody really," she said as Raoul stared at her. "So you were the only one singing?"
Christine shrugged, "I hadn't sang for quite awhile and I decided to see if I still have it," she said as Raoul looked at her. "Your lying," he said as Christine shook her head, "I'm not. Raoul, please. Just let it go. Besides, I think Blaire is starting to get tired," she said as the two looked at Blaire who was yawning.
"It is getting late," Raoul murmured as Christine nodded. "Ah, before you go, I think you should really join the opera again Christine," Annette said as she looked at Raoul and Christine. Christine beamed, "I feel like singing again after I sang in my dressing room. What opera are you thinking Madame?"
Annette shook her head as she smiled, "remember the opera from before this opera house got renovated?" She asked as Christine nodded. "You want me to perform in there again? But wouldn't Carlotta be in it as well?" She asked worriedly, "I'm not really sure yet my child. But you and your husband should think about it," Annette said as Christine nodded.
"Come, we must be off. Blaire is starting to fall asleep," Raoul said as Christine looked and saw that Blaire was already leaning onto Raoul's leg for support as she was drifting off and on. Christine chuckled, "very well. Good night Meg, Annette," she called as the trio left the opera house.

Christine smiled at Blaire before she closed off her room and turn off the light before going inside her own bedroom that she shares with Raoul. "Christine, is their something you want to tell me?" Raoul asked as Christine blinked, "I'm not sure what your talking about," she said as Raoul frowned and he got in the bed.
"You were with him, weren't you?" He asked as Christine shook her head, "I was by myself in my dressing room. Nothing to get jealous Raoul," she said smiling as Raoul stared at her as Christine chuckled. "Raoul, I'm married to you and I have Blaire. Who do you think I'll choose?" She asked as Raoul nodded slowly and Christine went to bed as the two hugged one another.
Christine layed awake staring at the ceiling as soon as Raoul drifted off too sleep.
"Fool. You think that he actually cares about you Christine? His bad side is starting to show."
"Erik. Not right now. I'm trying to think."
"Think? What is there to think about my angel?"
"The family that I have and you."
"Me?"
"Yes, you. Ever since I saw you awhile ago, I couldn't stop thinking now."
Erik smiled even though Christine couldn't see it, "perhaps your beginning to love me."
Christine shook her head, "no. I have a daughter and I have to be there for her."
"But your drifting apart from Raoul. Perhaps marrying him was a mistake."
"Erik, now, it isn't the time for this."
"But I will always be with you ever since you came back to the opera house. I'll be talking to you everytime when you are alone. Don't you want us to be connected and not have to do this anymore?"
Christine didn't said anything as she stared at the ceiling before her.
"My angel. Sleep for now and think about what I said tomorrow. You need your rest."
Christine sighed as she didn't heard Erik talk anymore to her, she closed her eyes. Perhaps I truly do love Erik now, she thought unhappily as she drifted off too sleep.

"Maybe you should go back to the opera house and sing again my love," Raoul said the next morning as Christine was preparing breakfast as Raoul was helping Blaire sitting on her chair. "I'm not sure," Christine said quietly as Raoul went behind to her to hugged her, "you sang beautifully last time. Everyone was watching you. Don't you want that?"
Christine blushed as she nodded slowly, "then what are you afraid of?" Raoul asked as Christine sighed. "If you are afraid about that opera ghost coming again, you know that I am here always protecting you right?" Raoul asked as Christine nodded and Raoul turn her around facing him, "don't be afraid my love," he said quietly as the two kissed.
"I guess I'll be going back to the opera," Christine said with a smile as Raoul smiled back and the two hugged each other.
