[Christine, once again, found that she could not sleep. This was becoming a common occurence of late, ever since Erik had accosted her while she was out getting food, lectured her, bound her to him again as his student and - as she later discovered when she got back to her room - stolen her keycard.
Thankfully, Mimmi had let her stay in her room until she got a replacement, but what had Erik wanted with the key? To keep her out of her own room so he could offer his? Or simply to be able to get in without her knowing? Perhaps she could find a way to talk to Erol and ask him to let her stay in his room... or maybe Raoul - he would be a gentleman.
Still, there wasn't much point in having a room if she couldn't sleep. Worry was part of it, but Christine had a feeling that another reason was that she had no laudanum. The bottle was in her room, and she couldn't just go and get some more from the boat's shops. The laudanum had worked wonders for her insomnia ever since the doctor gave her it,b ut the downside was that now she found it incredibly hard to sleep without it.
Which was why now she was wide awake and frustrated with herself because of it. Really, she was even beginning to consider getting up and taking a turn or two around the ship to tire herself out. God knows it was big enough.]
