Always

Chapter 3:Only Then Can You Belong To Me

So far the day had been peaceful with lots of yes or no from Madame Giry and papers for me to sign. I considered changing my name to Mr Y but that seems stupid and no one knows who I am here so it does not matter. But Phantasma remains the same.my new world. Along with my wife and my son by my side. I have everything I could want. Home, work, my wife by my side and good friends and a son that is safe and well cared for I don't need anything else. It was worse for Christine but every reporter was trilled to have her even Oscar Hammerstein had noticed. I great admiration myself but she is worth much more than what he can offer.

I was sitting by the piano in my dark little office looking at the picture I had painted of her. It's like I'm longing for her even when she's not with me. I would surrender everything for five minutes in her arms. Gustave had started to walk some months back to our great joy. He is growing to fast. I like to believe that I am a good father at least I hope I am. I still can't believe he is mine. A son. My son. Yet everything in the world makes sense. The world always has a problem with me, judging before knowing me. Christine is the best thing that has ever happened to me and that's why I let her go in the first place.

"Darling it's time for dinner and Gustave has a new drawing" she said and we put our arms around one another. Just holding. We did not have to say it we knew. I love you, I do so much. I said in my head. I need to say it everyday to myself anyway. Every time I do it feels like the first time.

"You know, I think I have finally let my soul take me where I long to be." She said smiling.

Only then can you belong to me
Floating falling sweet intoxication
Touch me trust me savor each sensation...

I sang for her and we kissed as long as possible until Gustave got a tantrum and rushed to our temper child.
