I own nothing
The next morning while Christine and Gabe where still asleep Erik sneaked into their room and place a note on the dresser along with a single red rose. He turned to look at the bed where the two laid asleep. Gabe head was on her chest his little arms were wrapped around Christine like she was his life line. At times Erik wish to be in the same place were Gabe was. Erik could not help but walk over to them and brush a stray curl from Christine face. They both looked like angels. Erik wished he could stay and watch them but he knew he could not do so there was much to be done. Erik bowed his head like a person who was prayed at the statue of on the Madonna with child. After a moment he rose and left again through the mirror.
Not more than five minutes later Christine awoke up and place Gabe on the bed. Christine got up and quickly dressed into a purple day dress and then walked over the dresser with the mirror and sat down on the stool. That when she notice the red rose she picked it up and smiled. As she picked it up she noticed the note as well. It was writing in Erik elegant hand. She placed the rose back down and pick up the note. The note read.
Dearest Christine,
I know not how to correct all the things I done in my past but I still long to have you by my side. I have never fit into society or even fit into a family and until yesterday I doubt I ever would. You save me such a gift and know not how to go about doing this. So forgive me if I mess this up. I know that we had our troubles in the past; when I see Gabriel and you my dear I long not just have you in my life but him as well. I would like the honor of courting you the way you so deserve. And I feel the need to tell you this you and Gabe have brought light into my world that thought was long dead. I hope that you consider this my dear little dove.
You're truly
Erik
Christine was in a state of shock she did not know what to say or do. She looked to the mirror and then back to the letter. She had no idea how to answer him. She quickly went through the drawers in the desk and found a piece of paper and ink and a feather pen. Her note was far simpler than that of Erik. It held only four words they read.
Dearest Angel,
Yes
Christine
Later that day Christine and Gabe were out on the stage. It was noon day meal break. Gabe was looking around the room with a look of awe. He never saw the place from the stage. Christine smiled at him as he explored the highest height with his eyes. If nothing else she in some way knew she made the right choose for once. As people started to back to the stage Christine pulled Gabe aside.
"Gabe can you do something for me." Christine asked
"Of course mama, what is it?" Gabe asked
"You see that box up here. I need you to place this note in that box for me. You may stay up there and watch if you like" Christine stated.
She point to box five as she handed the noted she had written. Gabe smiled a huge grin and took the note and ran off. Christine watch him head off as the rest of the cast showed up for the second half of rehearsals. The man that played Mina opposite came up to her. He was much younger the old tenor. He was to many of the women a piece of eye candy. He was also one of those men that seem to always get their way. He had dark brown hair and honey colored eyes.
"You were amazing last night as the Queen of the Night" He stated
That captured her attention from her boy for Christine turned and looked at him.
"Thank you" she said
He took her hand and brought it to his lip. He had a look of desire in his eyes as he looked her up and down.
"I do not believe we have been introduced as of yet. I am Corvin Morel lead tenor and you are" He stated.
"Christine Daae high soprano last season lead soprano" she said
"I hope to see a lot more of you Christine if I can call you that" Corvin stated
Then he head off in to talk to Mina. She could not honestly say the same thing about him. In some ways she felt like a piece of meat with the way he looked at her.
I know this is short but help build up the story. Ok quick poll question: Should Corvin be really in to Christine or just trying to figure out stuff for Mina? Let me know in review or message.
