Ooh, here's an interesting little plot prompt I just came across (from an unfinished roleplay): https://www.rpnation.com/threads/the-phantom-of-the-opera-a-beauty-and-a-beast-guile-and-melody.23682/post-1681779
"Erik felt that her heart still belonged to the Vicomte. My efforts are futile. If he leaves America alone Christine will simply follow him... "
Raoul may try to 'leave alone', but would Christine let him?
To be filed for potential development (it takes the intersection of two ideas to make a story), along with the 'role-reversal' scenario in which Raoul, by the time he meets Christine again at the Opera, is already married to someone else -- though I no longer remember what the reversal in "All I Ask of You" was to have consisted of :-(
Maybe Christine was trying to protect Raoul's wife (from being hurt) instead of Raoul trying to protect Christine?
