Emilie, while a very anxious woman, aspired for big things in her life. When she was on the stage, she was finally confident as herself, truly able to express what she had always held inside out of fear. Even with this confidence, she could never shake the fear of him finding out her true secret.

***okay so canon might (and most likely will) completely disprove this whole thing but this is my take on how Emilie met Gabriel, how she disappears, and (hopefully) how she gets back. I have way too many ideas for this one so it might be long so buckle up!!
