Because loving Christine has always meant saving her… and saying goodbye.

   Summary

   Christine leaves Raoul to return to the Opera. Not because she's in love with her maestro, but for the music, and seeking her own freedom for once in her life.
   At least, that's how it starts.
   (The course of true love never did run smooth.)
