I know I promised to wait until you returned from Paris. And, darling, you have my word that I’ve tried. But, Raoul, something has happened. I can’t wait any longer for you. My life is at stake if I do. 

Raoul... I’m with child. Madame still doesn’t know about our wedding. But if she finds out about our baby, she will kill me. I have to leave, now. I’ve packed my most cherished things, and I’m waiting for night to fall so I can escape. I’ve sent this letter ahead of me with Farmer John, but still, I plan on leaving for Paris tonight.

I don’t know if you’ve met with your brother yet, or what he’s said. I can only pray that he wasn’t too cross with us. If all goes well, I should be in the city the day after tomorrow. Hopefully, that will be enough time for you two to talk if you have not yet. Still, to be safe, I’ll wait for you in Notre Dame. I’ll see if I can find some way to get a note to you when I arrive. 

Raoul, I’m frightened. I never thought things would come crashing down on us so soon. But I have faith in you and in our love. We will make it through this, as we have all else. 

I love you, Raoul, and we’ll be with you soon.

Yours

"Don't you love me anymore?" (Raoul to Christine... I am too lazy to log onto my other blog tho)

Inhaling deeply, the actress kept her face as steady and calm as possible. There was no way that she could let her mask break. If it did, she wouldn't be able to do this. And this task, heartbreaking as it was, was vital.

"No." Christine forced herself to say. "Monsieur, you're mistaken. I never have. You were a childhood playmate, a friend. Nothing more. I love you for the memories and good times we shared, but Monsieur le Vicomte, I never loved you."

’ Please. Please… Please don’t leave me. ’ ( to Christine )

The weight of grief, horror, and guilt on her chest was crushing. Christine had never wanted this. She'd tried to warn him to stay away for this exact reason! But Raoul was like the rain... His presence cleansed her soul. He carried her through all the struggles. He gave her life. She couldn't have stayed away even if she wanted to. Christine knew that now, even if she hadn't when she first saw him in the Opera. 

But still. At times, it felt like he didn't take it seriously. Even after she'd told him the full tale, she wondered if he truly believed her. Under Apollo's lyre, he'd seemed to understand. But now, was he not going to stick to her plan?

"Raoul, we discussed this. We must wait until tomorrow." She insisted. "Tomorrow, dear, at midnight. And then we shall be free. Even if you leave me. Even if you must carry me off against my will, by force!"

"I have an appointment Monday before rehearsal to find out for sure. But the tests I took here were positive, so I think it's pretty certain. Other than you and Mamma?" Christine beamed, giggling. "No. I wanted the two of you to be the first to know. I will have to tell the director once we're certain. I may have to shorten my run, or work something out with my understudy. But, Raoul, can you believe it!"
