"I read a lot," *she said.* "I've never had too much interest in singing. I know that's weird, with my parents, but..." *she shrugged.* "I don't know. I haven't really tried."

"Everyone in this family is creative, but you don't all have to be creative the same way. Maybe instead of in music, your talents lie in literature...or maybe art, though I don't know if that interests you. I'm sure you have something, you just haven't discovered it yet."

*She laughed.*
"If I have something to write about. Maybe I'll write about all of us- though everyone will think it's fiction," *she said with a smile. She thought she knew how messed-up her family was, but she didn't know the half of it.*
"What opera?"

*Christian chuckled*
"It'd be a very long book, maybe even two books.
The opera is Turandot. It's rather new, so Paris will have something different to see than what the opera house seems to re-run on a regular basis."

"I like it- it's a good story," *she said when he was finished.* "What part do you play? The prince?"

"Yes, I do. I'd always dreamed of that role--I can't believe I'll get to actually perform it on the stage."

"I hope it goes well for you. Has my dad been helping you with the music?"

"Thank you...and yes, some, although he recently told me that I didn't really need any more practice. I think I do, though, so I still work on it."

*Christian frowned as he shifted a bit in his seat*
