I traced the Greek on his palm while he bled on my skirt.
“Kaleidoscope,” I said.'Kalos - beautiful. Eidos - form. Skopeo - the eye that seeks.'
'The eye that seeks the beautiful shape.'
I looked straight at him.
"That is you, Erik. The beautiful shape.”
He understood.
But he did not believe me.Bookmarked by HerbalPath

Summary
Despite his best efforts after Christine leaves, Erik finds himself alive and well and turning fifty. Well, if he’s bound to stay alive, he may as well start living. Of course, any great undertaking requires a first step, which Erik takes literally as a nice morning walk. He may not have a wife to take out on Sunday, but it seems as good a place to start as any.
Nora Farley has enough money and years on her to live life on her own terms. And if one of the things she wants to do in life is walk by herself to and from early morning mass at Notre Dame, she will. And if she wants to say, “Good morning, Monsieur!” to the shy man who covers his face every Sunday…
Well, everyone must learn to live with the consequences of their actions, mustn’t they?
A quiet romance in which Erik takes it upon himself to learn how to live and may, perhaps, find someone to share that life with.
Chapters 45 through 49 are new, for the tenth anniversary.

Summary
Oh, she was foolish. She was so, so foolish. Why had she done it? There’d been no need, no need at all. He’d let her go, he’d chosen to let her leave with a man he knew could give her the life she deserved. And yet, she’d found herself going back to find him. Only a week after everything happened, she found herself traveling back to that damp, dark lair, in the vain hopes of finding him there and sorting out the conflicting emotions she felt in her heart.
Christine had thought that she’d hated him. She had, but then…that kiss. That damned kiss had changed everything, and suddenly, she wasn’t sure anymore.
--
They'd both done it. Without still really understanding why they had or where they currently stood, Christine and Erik had committed a most unforgivable act together, and now, they had to do something about it. Despite the one conclusion that they're able to agree on, they both know that the road ahead will surely not be an easy one. Can these two, at last, make sense of their complex feelings for one another and get things sorted? If not solely for their sakes, then their child deserves that much, right?

Summary
Christine loved to perform: the adoration, the crowds gasping and applauding her every move. She loved the risk of the tricks she did on her horses, the joy she brought circus-goers. She was good at what she did, and she knew it. Why was this mysterious man trying to ruin it?
