Summary
Erik pays an unexpected visit to Christine the evening before the premiere of "Don Juan Triumphant." Uncertainties abound. What confessions will pass between them? Will honesty shift the tide of events? It's time for our lovers to breathe and be with one another. ALW-Based, E/C).
""The little sounds, Erik?" She pressed him onwards, coming to stand beside him once more. "What do I not hear?" Christine reached for him blindly, her hands trembling as she scraped at the ebony lapels of his coat.
"Oh, my innocent, little dove, you've never heard the sounds of true suffering, of utter and miserable loneliness; the choking sense of isolation that one can only recognize unless one has been completely alone." He covered her fingers with his hand, cherishing the delicate and sweet feeling of her skin against his palm. "My love…you are far too beautiful to ever fear knowing such misery. You will never hear those sounds. One as precious as yourself will…will never be alone." At that, Erik brought his other hand up to her face, the backs of his knuckles leaving a cold caress against her cheek. Christine came alive at his touch, helpless to deny the desire he brought forth within her."
