Chapter 3

Rose sat down next to the woman. The woman seemed afraid, at first. But then once Rose spoke she seemed less timid.

"Hello," She said, smiling weakly. The woman continued to stare at her, as if Rose was a foreign creature. "What's your name?"

"Mary." She replied, in a quiet voice. Meanwhile, Jack was asking the crew members some questions about rations, etc. Rose was interested in Mary, for some reason she did not know. The way she was so mysterious, yet she seemed to have an interest in Rose as well. So, Rose continued the conversation.

"Did you." Rose started, thinking for a second about how she was to phrase what she wanted to ask her, "Did you know anyone who."

"My fiancée, he die." She replied, with a French accent. "And my mama, I do not know where is she,"

"I'm sure you'll find her," Rose said in a somewhat comforting tone. "I'm sorry about your fiancée-But do you know that he's gone for sure? Maybe he got rescued."

"No, when I get on the boat, we go past him. He's lying in water, eyes shut,"

"Oh," She replied, feeling sorry for the young girl, who seemed all alone "I'm Rose."

"I see, please to be meeting you, Rose," She said, as she then smiled and turned away.

Rose headed over to where Jack sat, staring at the water below him. She thought, for a moment, of the night before. The love, the passion.It was amazing how it could feel like so long ago. So much had happened since then. She remembered the iceberg clearly; Jack and she had been outside when it happened. No one knew it would lead to so many lives lost.They couldn't have known. Jack looked up for a moment, to see Rose staring down at him

"Am I interesting?" He asked, as Rose sat down, leaning against his chest.

"I was just thinking."

"Me too," He said, smiling and brushing a piece of hair behind Rose's ear

"About what?"

"Lat night, the sinking.That water was so cold."

"I was thinking about what you said to me, before the boat came. That I couldn't give up. You saved me, Jack. If you hadn't told me that I don't think I'd be here."

"Don't talk like that Rose,"

"It's true. I love you so much Jack. When I.When I thought you had left me I wanted to die myself. When I heard your voice again, it was like I got this energy I thought I'd never feel again." The two kissed, and they didn't stop for a while. They didn't care who was watching.
