I went out onto the deck. The sun was sinking low in the sky. There was no wind and it was getting colder and I buttoned my coat. I went to the railing and looked down at the sea. No waves, no breaking water against the bow.

"_?"

"Thomas."

He came towards me smiling. "Close your eyes." I did. "Keep them closed and don't open them until I tell you to."

"I won't I promise." I could hear his footsteps as he walked nearer to me and he stepped behind me I felt his hands move my thick curls away from my neck and onto my shoulder. His hand gently touched my neck and so did something else. A necklace? He brushed his face against my hair and whispered, "Okay, open your eyes." I looked down; in his hand was a ship, Titanic, a smaller but very accurate version of Titanic and it gleamed in the light. The stern bow and viewed starboard section all measured out in precision. A glittering pair of medium-small diamonds glinted bright as stars on the front of the bow section. "Oh Thomas! But-"

"I had it made yesterday; a jeweler on the ship took two six karat diamonds and put them in this pearl ship."

"Pearl?"

"Yes, I told Titanic would belong to you."

We embraced once again and I held him close as he held me. "II won't leave you, Thomas. When the ship docks I'm staying with you."

"This is amazing. I don't understand." He said laughing

"Neither do I!" I exclaimed laughing. "For once, something in my life that I have wanted that I chose."
