Summary
It is wrong to watch them, wrong to hear Christine gasp, and watch her pretty fingers dig into the back of Erik’s head, disturbing the few hairs there.
She releases a low, guttural moan, and Raoul forgets himself for a moment, a single instant, and gasps.
Erik hears, his eyes search the space and land on the mirror in panic and fury.
Christine stares at him, her mouth dropping open as she struggles for words. Slowly, she takes in his appearance: hair wild, pupils blown. She must know what he’d been doing. She must realise.
Her eyes, shining in the candlelight, flick between him and Erik who stands between them, watching, looking ready for murder, and none too unhappy with the thought.
Raoul knows that any movement he makes towards Christine will likely be his last, but he doesn’t look in Erik’s direction at all.
He is, as he has always been, watching Christine, and offering himself to her.
She looks once more at Erik before, at last, her eyes settle on Raoul. “Join us.”
