Chapter Two
"Yes, Miss?"
Rose paused, and then replied, "Oh...I'm sorry. Thought you were someone else."
He nodded and turned away. She missed him so much.
Rose was walking and didn't even realize she ran into someone.
"Oh, I'm sorry," the woman said.
"It's all right. I'm sorry, too."
The woman stared at her. "What's your name?"
Rose paused, then said, "Rose Dawson."
The woman smiled and shook her hand. "Hello, Rose. My name is Hope. Nice to meet you."
Rose nodded, not really paying attention to the conversation. She was too much focused on Jack.
"I can't believe what happened. My husband and my little boy died on that ship."
Rose looked over to the woman. She looked in her early twenties, not much older than herself. "I'm terribly sorry," Rose said.
Hope nodded, and said, "Did you lose any loved ones?"
Rose though about Jack...those eyes...oh, how she wish she could see them now. "Yes. I lost the love of my life."
The woman gave her a pitying smile, and then said, "Where are you headed?"
Rose looked at her, and replied, "Nowhere. I have nowhere to go, no money, nothing."
Hope looked at her. "I'd love it if you came with me to live in an apartment in New York. To tell you the truth, I'm very scared of living alone."
Rose smiled for the first time since Jack's death. "All right."
