Chapter V

Thomas was reaching over his desk, huge blueprints covering the tabel. After some seconds he had noticed my return and looked forward the door.

"Is everything all right?"he asked me. "She weren't in her room...I guess she is just taking a walk, I wouldn't pass my chance either to see the ship," I said.
"I am sure she will be all right," said Thomas, once again telling me not to worry.

He came closer and gave me his helping hand removing the coat off of my shoulders. "Thomas, I was thinking about a little walk around the boat, maybe tomorrow?"

"In fact, I was thinking about that too, you have sense my thoughts," he answered.

I felt his breathing on my back. It was like timeless moment...
Yet so fast to pass.

Without no will to rest, I decided to go out. I felt how the sea was calling me.

I was silent with my steps - didn't want to wake him.

I hurried to the B-deck. It was almost mid-night, the stars shone above and the sea was restless. I leaned over the railing, just to see the cold sea bursting against the ship. The water was freezingly cold, there was no doubt about that.

I remembered a dream that I once had, with sea and water resting above me...I had sank.

"Excuse me...Are you Sarah Andrews?" I heard suddenly someone asking.

"Yes I am...is there something wrong?" I asked.

"Miss Edith Evans sent me," she replied. "Is everything well with her....where is she"? I asked.

"Yes, she's well, but she was worried about you," she said.

"About me...?" I asked.

"She didn't show up for the dinner...and she wanted to say not to worry, she just feels bit ill," she replied. " The time telling you all this might not be very proper, but I saw you here and thought you should know."

"Do you know where she is?" I asked.

"Yes, she is in her cabin...by the way, my name is Ida and it's nice to meet you."

"It's nice to meet you too, Ida" ....Ida, the name seemed very familiar and also her face...and then I realized. "Correct me if I am wrong, but are you Ida Gray?"

"Yes, in fact, I am...how did you know?" she asked.

She was a young servant, though, bit older than me. I remembered her from the Parkinson family house, I worked there when I was fifteen or so. We were good friends, and now, on board of R.S.M Titanic, we hadn't even regonized each other.

"Don't you remember me anymore, we worked together in the Parkinson's house," I said then looked into her face to see if she will regonize me.

She looked me from the ground to the very top of my head, I guessed I was chanced a bit; my hair weren't that short anymore... and I wasn't that child anymore.

"Oh, now I remember, Sarah, of course, but you are chanced...is that a wedding band around your finger?" ..."Yes, that is", I replied.

"It's so nice to see you again," she reached out to hug me, then realized that something was between us. "I'm sorry, I didn't knew you were with a..."
"Don't be sorry...I have been thinking about you a lot, but didn't knew where to find you."

"Come on, let's take a walk!"
