The room was deserted but the smell of roses still lingered.
*Raoul carried Josephine in and laid her reverently on a sofa. He searched through the draws and found a bottle of smelling salts. He waved them under Josephines nose and tried not to notice her lily white skin and the way her chest rises and falls perfectly*

*Josephine awoke, and pushed the smelling salts from underneath ehr nose, breathing heavily, she looked up at him; her blue eyes shining with bewilderment and joy*
"W-what happened?"

"You were on stage dear and you fainted."

*Raoul paused cursing his stupidity before continuing.* "How do you feel now?"

*Josephine blinked in shock.*
'Dear'? Oh, maybe he just meant it as friendly, polite, unromantic way? Ah, who am I kidding? He meant it.
Blushing red she spoke; "I'm all right, thank you. Raoul, I am glad to know you!"
*Josephine blushed even redder in shock of her words.*

*Josephine was now so red, she resembled a crimson piece of silk. But, she felt no need to back away, and she leaned in also.*
Oh, my God, Josephine! What are you doing? He's rich, your poor! It would never work, never! Well, there is no harm in an innocent kiss...right?

*Jospehine tasted like the coming of spring. Raoul explore her mouth and tried to resist the temptation to lean in further. He forced himself to draw backward.*
"You must forgive me!. That was terribly improper."
But how I long to do it again!

*Josephine was upset over the kiss ending, but hid it.*
"It's alright, it wasn't improper. No one saw it, so therefore I declare it wasn't, dear." Josephine responded, and blushed once again at her bold words.

*Raoul grinned boyishly at the blushing girl.*
"That seems fair. Are you feeling any better now?. Is there anything I can do to help you?."

*Josehpine took a shaky breath*
"Alright...well, my father died when I was a child...my mother died from a broken heart soon after...I had to stay on the streets, for I had no other friends or family members. I struggled to stay alive, I begged for money and for food, many people pited me and gave me whatever they could spare. It wasn't a lot, but I lived. When I turned 16, I realized I needed to make something of my life...I started practicing my dancing and singing again, after two years of it, I came here...and well, the rest you know. I'm sorry, I wish I could tell you more. But I can't. Not know, anyhow." she explained, tears stinged in her eyes, as she recalled her mama and papa.

*Raoul took her hands in his and gazed into her eyes tenderly.*
"I understand ,I wish I could help you more."
*Suddenly an idea occur to him. He jumped up and pulled Josephine up with him.*
"I am going into Paris tomorrow. Tell me anything you want and I will get it for you.. think not of the cost. It does not matter."

She kissed me of her own free will
*For the first time in his life Raoul stuttered for words.*
"But my darling. The only way I know to show how I feel is to buy you things.I don't want all the other girls to look at you as if you are less than them"
*Raoul looked down at his hands, ashamed*
