Ever since the phone call from Mike, Christine had been incredibly worried. Even though he said that Erik as safe Christine still could not help but worry. It had been difficult to calm that night and she knew she would not until she saw him standing before her. She had walked around the garden for quite some time, taking in the completed works, but even that had not helped. Then she took a bath at the suggestion of one of the staff. That had helped a little bit but not enough to keep her calm for long. After dressing in her night clothes, she had spent some time in the library and finally picked up a book. Not anything specific, just something at random.
She had been curled up on the chair by the window in the bedroom, the one she always sat at, reading the book when she heard the footsteps. Her eyes quickly turned to the door and after closing the book she rushed to the door to open it. He looked okay but she was still not soothed by his presence. Something wasn't right.
