Jennifer took a deep breath as she approached the bridge. She could see James and shouted his name "JAMES!" .
"Hi Jennifer, do you need to see Joe? I can get him for you". He smiled.
"Thank you James".
James and Joe approached. "Thanks James" She smiled.
Joe went to kiss her but she pulled away "We cant do this anymore Joe" She said sadly
"Why not? You love me and i love you. Well at least i thought you did." He said sadly.
"I cant be near you. I've come here to say goodbye and tell you to stay away from me otherwise Shaun will cause trouble. I owe it to myself and my family to give us a try" Jennifer staid
Joe could see in her eyes this isn't what she wanted and he wondered what ha happened to change her mind "What happened Jennifer? And don't say anything. You said you wanted to get off with me and hide in 3rd class away from you're abusive scum excuse for a fiancé" Joe said wiping his forehead.
"Maybe things will be different when we get settled and married. I have to give it a try. Goodbye Mr Boxhall, you have my best wishes for the future" Jennifer stated before going to walk off. Joe quickly grabbed her arm
"I love you, please don't go" He said with a tear running down his cheek. "You are the best thing to ever happen to me Jennifer".
"LET ME GO!" she struggled out of his grasp but got free and ran away.
He shouted for her to come back but she kept running. She had tears in her eyes. She had to remember who she was doing this for. Her mother who had raised her and wanted the best for her. But she wondered why she felt so guilty for breaking Joe's heart.
She went to her room and saw Shaun sat on the bed "HI darling" She smiled.
"Hi Jennifer. I just need to tell you something before we head for dinner. Do you need help getting ready?" He asked gently holding her hand.
"I'm OK Shaun" She smiled "what do you need to tell me?" She asked.
"I want to apologise for my disgraceful behaviour. I am so sorry for hurting you and i have told Lovejoy that his services are no longer required. I guess my problem is I'm insecure. You are the most beautifulest woman i have ever seen and known and i know men stare, and I'm just scared someone will steal you away from me" Shaun poured his heart out to her.
"You don't have to worry Shaun, I love you and only you" She kissed him passionately on the lips and before they knew it they were making love.
Shaun kissed his beautiful naked fiancée "We better get up otherwise they'll be wondering where we are".
"You're right" Jennifer giggled. Maybe things would be OK now they both got everything off their chest.
They were both dressed and headed out of their room hand in hand for dinner "I love you Jennifer" Shaun kissed her head.
"And i love you Shaun" Jennifer smiled.
Rose approached the happy couple with a smile "Oh it's lovely to see you both getting on so well" She winked at Jennifer who knew what she was on about.
"I'm going to make her happy Rose, don't you worry about that" Shaun said with pride.
"Would you like to take my arm Rose?" Shaun then asked.
"I would love too". Rose smiled taking Shaun's other arm.
Shaun accompanied by two beautiful ladies one on each arm went down the grand stair case. Ruth and Cal arm in arm were ahead of them.
