Madame Giry soon arrived and got out of the carriage and was relieved to find Christine outside in the front, the lean porcelain figure sitting on the concrete steps taking in the warmth that the sun would give her, Madame Giry stood a few yards away and looked at her.

Christine opened her eyes and looked up to find Madame Giry standing there. She immediately got up and ran to her and hugged her "Ma'am! Its so nice to see you, it feels like I haven't seen you in ages!"

"It does doesn't it." Madame Giry said nodding in agreement as the envelope fell out of her hand

"Let me get it." Christine said as her fast reflexes took hold of the envelope before it blew off in the wind, Christine gave it back but Madame Giry put Christine's hand to her heart and then mummered "Its yours"

"It is? From who? If I may ask." Christine said wondering who would give her a letter.

"Thats who you need to figure out." Madame Giry said grinning mysterously.

"But..." She got cut off by Madame Girys hand touching her shoulder.

"So, what have you been up to?" Madame Giry said changing the subject, Christine wanted to protest but knew that wouldn't be wise.

"I found a old piano in one of the rooms and it needs to be refurbished." Christine said as her brunette curls covered her face, Madame Giry laughed and help put her hair in the back of her cream neck.

"You should find a refurbisher to help you..." Madame said noting that Christine was going to change the subject.

"I'll do it myself." Christine said "I know that you and The Phantom have been friends for a long time and I was just wondering if he's alright and if he's happy and if he moved on with his life."

"Why are you asking?" Madame Giry asked in suprise that she would bring up him after all he did to her and Raoul.

"Because I just wanted to know." She said in distraught

"He is fairing well, still getting use to all of the town looking for him but he's doing fine." Madame Giry said looking at Christine who now was crying.

"Mon petite, don't cry it wasn't your fault." Madame Giry said taking Christing into her embrace "Shhh, don't cry."

"Its all my fault! I took off his mask during 'Don Juan' and put him in danger, Its all my fault." She sad collapsing on the concrete and cried.

"Now listen to me." Madame Giry said in a calm steady voice "Do you know why he let you go with Raoul in the first place?"

"No"

"He let you go because you showed him that someone in the world does love him and that anybody no matter what can love him, you showed him passion, love, care, kindness, you understood him when no body could, you heard his cries, you were there for him no matter what! You did something no one could, You conquered your fear of his face and didn't care what he did or looked like, you looked to the true man beneath the deformity and imperfections."

Christines cries were now silent and she looked up "You think so?" Christine said snuffling

"I know so, you Mon petite tamed The Opera Ghost." Madame Giry said amazed that she said all that.

Christine smiled and amazed that Madame Giry knew all this and also amazed that she thought she tamed The Phantom.

Speech finally failed her and she just looked at Madame Giry, she struggled to comprehend all that was said.

"Oh... look at the time, I have to go, dance practice is in an hour." Madame Giry said looking at her watch.

Christine embraced Madame Giry for a hug again and they said their goodbyes and went there seperate ways.

Christine went inside of the mansion and went to room and sat down at the mahogony desk and pulled out the letter and opened it and gasped at who it was from. "Oh my god!"

Vicomte Raoul De Chagny walked down the streets of Paris to the Opera house to go talk to the managers Andre and Firmin.

He walked past shops and venders and ignored girls that were looking at him and following him.

Once he got inside the Opera he was finally relieved of all the attention.

"Monsieur De Chagny!" Andre said as Raoul caught his eye "How are you and your wife fairing?" He said wide eyed

"Christine is still my fiancé." Raoul said annoyed with hearing her name.

Andre and Firmin could see Raoul getting annoyed and decided to change the subject

"So we asked you here because you are our patron of course and we wanted to know if you still would." Firmin said cutting Andre off.

"Um, I will but won't it not be done for at least 2 years?" Raoul replied suddenly feeling an oddly familiar presence.

"What the hell is that fop doing here!" The Phantom spat to himself 'You could always kill him right here and now' The voice in his head said. "I will kill him, just not here and now." 'Well if you kill him then you can have Christine all to yourself.' "True, but she loves that bo

"Yes, it won't be done for 2 years, so we'll have to wait." Andre said taking over the talking now.

"Alright, I'll drop by once in awhile, to see how everything is going." Raoul said looking around at all the damage the fire caused.

"Alright Adieu." Andre and Firmin said turning around and heading into the ballroom.

"Adieu." Raoul said turning around and walked out the Opera's door.

"If you do anything to my Angel, i'll personaly hunt you down and kill you myself and mark my words, you will face the consequences." The Phantom said smirking and the thought of killing Raoul. He then went to his lair to go get ready for something.

"Oh my god!" Christine said covering her pink lips while gasping and read the letter

"Dear Christine,

I know you are alright and well with the Vicomte and that he'll take care of you. I know that you're wondering where I am and how I am, I am fine and planning to start a new life and I am still at the Opera house and you probably want to come find me now because you are still worried about me, but please don't because we both know that if we see each other again memories that we both don't want to revisit will hurt us both and for the rest of my days just so you know i'll be traveling around France and other countrys and I bid you well with your marriage and life and just know that I will always truly and deeply love you.

Sincerely and always

Your Angel"

Christine put the letter down and put her hands up to her face and cried, she couldn't believe that he was doing this 'Why?' she constantly thought to herself. "I have to go find him, I just have to."

She finally got over the crying and went to go take care of her needs and went into the shower and put on the white nightdress that she wore at the Opera house a long time ago and finally went to bed after all the pain and hurt she experienced from the letter.

Erik walked around his lair and got stuff he needed and heard a noise from in back of him and turned around really quick to see Madame Giry and Meg standing there.

"Did you deliver it?" He asked

"Yes." Madame Giry said burst out laughing.

"Whats so funny?" Erik asked taking two huge steps toward them.

"You going to laugh at what she's doing on her free time." She said still laughing.

"What?" He asked while his lips curled into a beginning of a smile.

"She's going to refurbish a piano by herself, I told her to get some help but she just said 'I do it by myself' Madame Giry explained

"I never taught anyone to refurbish piano's and other instruments. He said hoarsely.

"Its not your fault..." She stopped and looked around. "Are you cleaning up or getting rid of stuff.

"No I'm going to move away..." He stopped to clear the huskiness in his voice.

"What!" The both exclaimed in shock.
