*Erik unlocked the door and handed Vianne the key. The apartment was close to the Opera, and furnished; Erik had made sure to pad the rent Madame Giry had asked so as to allow himself to take care of her in a way she could not refuse.*
"Erik hopes it is sufficient."
((Like those broccolis...))

"It is...lovely, thank you."
*Indeed, it seemed comfortable enough. Of course, in this part of town, a far cry from her rooms at the estate, but it was hers--she breathed a sigh of relief in the guaranteed solitude and relative safety. Gerard would not look for her here.*

*Erik sighed.*
"It is little enough. But you will be safe here. And Erik will be close, should you need him."

"Of course--thank you," *she pressed his hand gratefully, with a small smile.*

*Erik looked at her silently for a moment.*
"Erik should let you settle in."
*He turned to leave.*

"I cannot thank you enough," *she said, accompanying him to the door.*

"It is not required," *he said, inclining his head.* "Erik wishes only for your safety."
And continued good wishes.

*Madame Giry merely dropped her head in acknowledgement and watched as Erik disappeared down the hall.
With a sigh, she turned to putting her new home in order, then she undressed and crawled into her warm, soft bed to sleep for several hours.*

***NEW DAY***
((Following the rehearsal thread.))
*Arriving home just as it was beginning to grow dark, Vianne stoked the fire, lit a single lamp and sat down wearily in an armchair with faded upholstery, covering her face with her hands.*
