"Say you love me every waking moment, turn my head with talk of summertime . . . Say you need me with you, now and always . . . promise me that all you say is true - that's all I ask of you . . ."
"Let me be your shelter, let me be your light. You're safe: No-one will find you your fears are far behind you . . ."
"All I want is freedom, a world with no more night . . . and you always beside me to hold me and to hide me . . ."
"Then say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime! Iet me lead you from your solitude . . . Say you need me with you here, beside you . . . anywhere you go, let me go too - Christine, that's all I ask of you . . ."
"Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime . . . say the word and I will follow you . . ."
"Share each day with me, each night, each morning . . ."
"Say you love me . . ."
"You know I do."
"Love me - that's all I ask of you."
Gleb leans in and shares a kiss with Christine to show her how much he loves her.
"Anywhere you go let me go too? Love me - that's all I ask of you."
"I must go - they'll wonder where I am . . . wait for me, Gleb!"
"Christine, I love you!" Gleb said holding her hands on one knee.
"Order your fine horses! Be with them at the door!"
"And soon you'll be beside me!"
"You'll guard me, and you'll guide me!" ________________________________ They both left the Opera House hand in hand.
"We're should we go Christine?"
"It doesn't matter as long as I'm with you."
Christine and Gleb were both smiling ear to ear as they headed to Gleb's house in the county side. The whole carriage ride Christine was snuggled in Gleb's chest and their hands were locked together.
"Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime. say the word and I will follow you."
As they pulled up to Gleb's house Christine admired the lovely home. Gleb helped Christine out of the carriage and lead her to the steps of the house. Gleb opened door for Christine and soon followed. Christine looked up at Gleb and their eyes met again with love in them.
Gleb leans in and they share a sweet and loving kiss. When he pulls away Christine still has her eyes closed and leans in to rest on Gleb's shoulder. "Would you like to stay the night?" Gleb asked unsure if she was ready to be by herself. "Yes, thank you Gleb." Christine replied with a loving smile on her face. "Let me show you to your room." ________________________________ Chapter 4 done. Third chapter done today and I have to say this is my favorite out of all of them. Comment what you liked or didn't.
