Chapter nineteen: Savior
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The funeral for both Amar and Raoul had been a spectacle. Amar was buried beside the father he never knew and Raoul’s body was shipped back to England for his parents to bury. Erik let Christine got to England with her parents to Raoul’s funeral but Erik refused to go with her. He said he’d rather be dead than be at Raoul’s funeral. Christine knew it was going to take a long time for Erik to heal over what happened. The entire time Christine was gone she worried Erik would hurt himself or do something terrible. But when she returned to Persia, to their home, she found him lying on the couch looking into the flames of the fire.
Christine sighed deeply and looked to a maid who had shown Christine where Erik was. “He’s been like that since you left two days ago, he works in his office and then he comes in here and just sits there. I am worried, Madame.” The maid said to Christine. Christine dismissed the maid after thanking her and Christine went to Erik. She sat down in front of him on the ground on her knees and starred at him. “How was your time?” Erik asked her softly. Christine sighed deeply and touched Erik’s hands. “I buried my best, how do you think it was?” Christine said back to him.
Erik shrugged his shoulders and shook his head slowly. Christine reached out and placed her hand over his heart and leaned forward and pressed her lips to his softly. “I love you,” she whispered so only he could hear her. She was so close when she said that her lips moved against his. Christine stood up and removed her shoes and over coat. She reached up and removed her stockings and lay down on top of Erik and laid her head over his heart. She felt Erik’s arms wrapped tightly around her and pull her closer.
“My dearest friend if you don’t mind
I’d like to join you by your side,”
Christine began to sing sweetly to him.
“Where we can gaze into the stars
And sit together now and forever
For it is plain as anyone can see
We’re simply meant to be,”
Christine finished her song and kissed Erik’s cheek before closing her eyes. Erik leaned down and kissed the top of Christine’s head.
The next day Christine woke to find that she was still cuddled up close to Erik’s warm body. She looked up at Erik who was starring down at her and smiled. “I love you too.” Erik told her. Christine’s eyes filled with tears. She leaned up and pressed her lips to his and Erik immediately kissed her back. It was at that moment that Erik knew no matter how hard anything got that he always had a shoulder to lean on: Christine.
