" All of us should be here in this very park by 2 in the afternoon"Raoul said , we nodded. He and Madame Giry left , while Meg and I went to shops of dresses, we boy only that can fit in our budget.

...............Timeskip.................

It was already 1:50. "Meg let's go"I told Meg, "fine" said Meg. When we got out from the shop, I heard a sound , a melodious sound actually which reminds me of my angel of music. "Christine,Christine are you all right you kind of black out"Meg asked, "um, yes ,sorry about that"I said to her , until we reach to the park. We waited about 3 when Raoul and Madame Giry came. "Meg my god you must buy only what's necessary" Madame Giry said " Sorry mother"Meh apologize . " Our ride is here" said Raoul.We hop in our carriage Madame Giry and Meg  while Raoul and I sat together. "Mademoiselles do you have somewhere to go?" asked Raoul, " Um nothing in mind" I said.
...............Timeskip...............
Finally reached Raoul's mansion. I went straight up to my room and so did others . I pass by Raoul which its door was left open he was looking at his self in the mirror , half naked . I look at his reflection when I saw  he was touching  something near his neck he took his hand off it. He saw me and turn back, " Christine um what are you doing here".

Raoul POV
I look at the bruise near my neck it really hurt. I got it maybe from that punjab lasso of the Phantom. I kept looking at it when I saw Christine's reflection in my back looking at me, I turned back, " Christine what are you doing here" I asked here. " Dear God what happened to your neck, Raoul"she asked me and approach me to nurse my bruise. " It's  nothing actually Christine it's just um a little bruise from that lasso" I said.
" It's not little, it's a big thing" she said , I found it funny on how overprotective she is. "Raoul it's not funny" she said with some pout. " No it just remind me of when we were young after you're in ballet class we would play and play until you would get a  scraped in your knees , remember". I said while laughing and for the first time after the tragedy I finally saw her laugh. " Correction, we swing until you got dizzy first and you stopped" Christine said , " true, but you kept swirling  and dance until you got a scraped" I said. " and you walked towards me and helped me" she said. We kept laughing , missing the memories of how things were before ,I saw her smile again and that made me satisfied now. " Listen Christine, I know you have second thoughts about our wedding, if there's something you need tell me please tell me honestly please Christine" I told her, I know that she loves him, she's part of her life also, and I have no rights to tell her what to do , all I know is that I love her, and I will do everything for her". "Raoul to be honest I don't even know but I love you but I think now I'm not ready yet, but I am certain my love for you is real it's just I'm not ready yet , I'm still scared, I'm scared Raoul" she hugged me while crying. " Christine I'll be patient for you, and I'm here always to protect with every power I have , because I love you", "thank you Raoul " she said back. We keep hugging ,I will do everything for her ,even to trade my life.
