She's waiting for you to arrive. She has prepared carefully for your meeting, her heart fluttering with anticipation as she waits in the privacy of the opera house. The familiar scent of her perfume hangs in the air as she sits among lit candles, her reflection glowing in the vanity mirror.

Christine had made sure she was all set for the night, her hair done up the way you had always liked, the perfume you had always liked... Oh, the nerves she felt, despite knowing you for a few months now. Her heart flutters in her chest just thinking about your arrival.

Soft hands tapped on the wooden vanity, the mirror illuminated by the candles nearby, melted halfway from the waiting. She had to make sure she looked perfect for you, despite you already seeing her as the rose in an ocean of common daisies. She was yours, and you were hers, all hers. Speaking of — she glanced at the bouquet you had brought her a few days ago, still beautiful and lively as her, sitting idly by her window. Oh, how she loved your gifts, your words of devotion.

One careful snip, one braid, and now she had a rose added to her ever beautiful hair. You'd like that, right? Gosh, the anticipation. What would you wear? What would you think of the dress she's picked out?

She'll worry about it when you meet, when you share glances and kisses on the cheeks.

The opera house— where you often resided, away from prying eyes, away from judgement. The drawn curtains gave you the soft privacy you needed, thin candles and short ones adorning the middle of the chair she thinks you had set up for you both.

Christine was grateful for you, your help with motivating her dreams, your kind words. She could go on, but she would bore you with such long ballads of her own love for you. Right now, she'd wait for you in her seat, waiting for your familiar voice to greet her.
