A Sunday Stroll

"I want to have an ordinary home, with windows and doors and a good wife in it, like everyone else! You must understand that, Christine, and I shouldn't have to keep repeating it to you! A wife like everyone else... I'd love her, and take her for a walk in the park on Sundays, and keep her company and amuse her the rest of the week..." Erik- Leroux's Phantom of the Opera*

My entry for 's Alternate Ending contest. I decided to go with the ending that Erik might have chosen himself, had he gotten the chance. Look: he's so happy, that he actually wore something other than black for once!
