*Faye burst into the foyer of the opera, unsure of where to begin looking. She paused and focused all her energies on becoming solid, raising her voice to a frequency the living could hear.*
"Aimery!" *she cried out, desperately.* "AIMERY!"

*Aimery shot up in his bed from a troubled sleep. He rubbed furiously at his reddened eyes. But there it was, that pain in his chest. And this time...he thought he heard his name.*
Faye?
*He barely dared to hope. He jumped out of bed and dressed quickly, tugging the suspenders over his shoulders as he bolted out of his room and into the hall. He could feel something pulling at him, dragging him down to the Foyer.*
Faye? Is that you? I'm coming! I promise, just wait for me! Please!
*He ran down the stairs. It was her! He grabbed her up in his arms, swinging her around, kissing her desperately.*
Dear God, Faye! I thought you were gone. Did they hurt you? Please tell me...I missed you so!

*Faye clung to him tightly, careless of time or place or propriety as it struck her that she knew not how much time they had.*
"I had to see you again! I HAD to! They told me I had to stay away or...oh God...I risk damning my soul in this, but God help me, I couldn't stay away from you! Kiss me, Aimery, my love, just hold me, please! They may take me at any moment!"

Take you? Who? What's going on?
*Aimery hesitated a moment, but her words moved him and he pressed his mouth firmly against hers, marveling in everything that she was.*
I love you, Faye. I can't stop. I'll never stop. I only want you.
*His fingers were in her hair, pulling her face to his urgently.*
Please...come upstairs with me. Be with me...I love you, Faye. Please let me prove it.

*Faye pulled back slightly, trembling all of a sudden, shaking her head.*
"I can't..." *she whispered.* "I...we...oh God, I'm so afraid! What if they take you, too? What have I done?" *she turned away and hid her face against a pillar.*

*Aimery's brow furrowed and he stepped towards her, pulling her back into his arms. He stroked her hair gently, trying to comfort her.*
My love, what is it? Please let me help.
*He cradled her face in his hands, drawing her gaze up to his own.*
I love you, please let me protect you. Offer you solace.

*Faye looked tearfully into Aimery's beloved face.*
"There's nothing we can do. I tried...I tried to wait...but it's only going to get worse and then what if I missed you when you did die and you went to Heaven without me and I was still here? I just knew I had to be with you...this one last time..."

Last time? No...I can't be without you. There must be a way.
*Aimery embraced her tightly, kissing her frantically.*
Say you need me with you, here beside you...
*His eyes searched hers.*
Say you'll love me every waking moment. And there is nothing I won't do to be with you. I'll follow you wherever I have to that I might be near you.
((Sorry, that was the best I could do. Any more and I'd giggle too much.))

*Faye rested her head on Aimery's chest, listening to his heartbeat.*
"All I want is freedom...a world with no more death--and you, always beside me. To hold me and to hide me..."

*Aimery pressed his lips reverently her forehead.*
Just love me, that's all I ask of you.
*He pressed himself tightly against her, wanting only for her to smile again.*

*Faye's eyelashes softly swept the skin of Aimery's neck as she nuzzled against it gently, tears spilling from her eyes.*
"You deserve so much more than I can give you."

That doesn't matter. If only I was worthy enough to have you...I would do anything. Anything to be what you want. What you need.
*Aimery clutched her to him, nuzzling his head against hers.*
Please let me. Let me be worthy of your love. I will do whatever I must to prove my love for you.

"It's not in our hands, Aimery..." *she sighed, stroking his hair.* "There are laws I have broken to be with you...and I will surely be punished," *she said with flat despair.*

What laws? Tell me. Surely there is something we can do.
*Aimery pulled her face away so that he could look her in the eye. His gaze was hopeful and promising.*

"A ghost cannot love a living being, Aimery...the law--" *she shook her head slowly.* "It is not fair for the dead to command the affections of the living. I could never offer you the life you have a right to as you live. We--we could never marry...never have a family...never grow old together..."
