Chapter 22. Stay with me?
Christine was there beside me when I awoke, I couldn't ask for anything more.
When she awoke and kissed me and ran her hand down one of my scars and said. "I can't believe they did that to you."
"They don't hurt anymore." I said. "They healed the day I met you."
She kissed me again and snuggled up to me and said. "I love you, Angel."
"Will you marry me?"
She looked at me and said. "If Raoul doesn't come back changed at next spring, then yes."
"Good enough for me."
We got dressed then heard a crash and ran out to the dining room to find Erica on the table trying to hold the miniature chandelier to the ceiling and a frying pan on the floor.
"This isn't what it looks like." Erica said.
"Hold it there." I said with a sigh and went and got my tool box and screwed it back into the ceiling then helped Erica down then folded my arms at her and said. "What did you do?"
"There may have been a wasp in my way that I was trying to kill. Good news is no one important was hurt."
"And how's the wasp?"
"Dead as a doornail"
This was going to be harder than I thought.
A little later, I sat at my desk getting read for the final day of the amusement park's season in august, when I heard my piano playing.
I got up and went to that room to see Erica playing.
"You play amazingly."
"Thank you. Raoul hates piano and sometimes it would make Momma cry for her angel, I think she was crying for you."
"That's the dream. Is this a song you wrote?"
"I call it Mystery. I think it could be a theme for a radio show one day."
"A scary one. It has a bit of darkness to it."
"Well I'm not scared of the dark."
I looked at her stitched up doll on the piano's back and said. "I can tell."
"I'm glad you're my papa and not Raoul."
I nodded and said. "I am too."
my chapters are getting shorted but don't worry this won't last long, i just have a little writers block on how to approach an idea of mine. oh and that song she was playing, would one day be known as The Twilight Zone theme
