The Patron de Changy
January 1865
Truimph was his! Astounding progress had been made with Annabel.
Quade couldn't believe how quickly she had improved and how much stronger she had become.
He was right about her potential, he knew it all along! Annabel was ready for the next step in her journey to absolute perfection.
He had discovered where she was in terms of her technique and found the music that created their connection.
When this moment happened, Quade couldn't comprehend the emotion he felt.
For the 31 years he had been alive, he had never had the opportunity to sing like he did the past few weeks with Annabel.
Even with Annabel being unaware, he still experienced the connection between them and the love they both had for music. It was extraordinary!
Quade looked at the wooden clock against the wall and saw that it was already 12 o' clock. It was finally time at last! He fastened his cloak and with a trained hand secured his mask over his face with his hat following.
