    Summary

    There was nothing left to do but put this strange woman from his mind. She was, after all, nothing more than another pretty woman in Paris, doing what all Parisians of a more attractive build did: forget they were dying slow, happy lives at the expense of others’ misfortune. He told himself that he would not fall vulnerable to the whims of such creatures. Not when they served no purpose in a monster’s life, save to bring him false hope.

    But Erik was always horrible at keeping promises—especially the ones made to himself.

    Summary

    Christine Daae. Known professionally as Christine, 30, singer-songwriter. Four Grammys, all between 2010-2015, 20 billboard singles, 10 studio albums. 1 stalker.

    Erik could already feel the headache forming beneath his mask. If Nadir hadn't called in his favor, he would still be at home, enjoying the silence that comes with years of solitude.

    But it was good money. Money enough to earn a lifetime of peace and quiet. All for 6 weeks of babysitting some pop star with too much money and not enough rules.

    What could go wrong?
