A stranger's kindness
She turned to see who was speaking and found a man looking at her inquisitively. She vaguely registered that he was good-looking, tall with brown hair and sparkling green eyes that at the very moment contained none of their usual mischief but was filled with sympathy.
"Are you waiting for someone? Because it will be dark soon and the street's of New York are not a safe place at night", he told Rose.
"No, I'm not waiting for anyone, there's no one to wait for" Rose replied close to tears yet again. "But thank you for asking, I'm sure I'll be fine."
"Well, I can't in good conscience leave you out here in the street", "Come, I'm sure my father would willingly extend his hospitality and offer you a place to stay for the night " the stranger continued.
"I'm sorry but who are you?" Rose enquired.
"I apologize for not having introduced myself sooner, under the circumstances it appears to have slipped my mind. I am Jason Cavanaugh, my father and I had come to fetch my niece, she was onboard the Carpathia." He replied, half embarrassed at forgetting to introduce himself to her. "And you are?"
"Rose Dawson", after a short pause she continued "I will accept your kind offer, but only if you are sure that it will not cause you any trouble", Rose said halfheartedly.
"Honestly, it won't be any trouble, the guest rooms are all empty at the moment as we were not expecting to be here today, I know my mother will be upset if I didn't ensure that you were taken care of" Jason said, thinking what his mother would do to him if he were to forget his upbringing and not offer assistance to someone in distress - especially if that someone was as lovely as Rose, he thought.

"Welcome to my home, Cynthia, that's our housekeeper, will show you to your room", "Do not worry about coming down for dinner, I'll see that it is sent up to you for you must be exhausted after your ordeal, so rest and I shall see you in the morning". Jason told her a short while later when they arrived at his father's house.
Once Rose was settled in the guest room and she had adequately thanked her host for his hospitality, she lay down exhausted and soon drifted off into a fitful slumber.
