They made their way down to the third class dining hall. There they proceeded to have a simple, but still delicious lunch. Fabrizo had stared at Jack questioningly when he saw Rose, but Jack had shook his head, indicating that he would explain later.

Rose was having the time of her life. She had never been in such an open and friendly environment, and she was rapidly beginning to love it. "Are you finished?" Jack asked. Rose nodded. "Yes." "Me too. Do you wanna take a walk on the deck?" Rose eagerly agreed.

Jack took her hand and they quickly reached the top deck. The day was bright and warm; there were no traces of the disaster that the Titanic had nearly experienced.

Rose clutched Jack's hand tightly, as if afraid to let go. In fact, she was afraid to let go; Rose knew that it was silly, but she couldn't help but worry that if she let go of Jack than he would disappear. "Rose, are you alright?" Jack gently held her face back so she was looking directly into his eyes.

"Of course Jack. Why wouldn't I be?" Rose's tone was light. She stared into Jack's eyes, searching for a clue as to why he was asking her this. "It's just that you're cutting off the circulation to my fingers." Rose gasped in surprise when she realized that it was true.

"Jack, I…I…" Rose struggled to find words. "I can't help but be worry that this is going to be snatched away." "All this?" "You, the life we're going to have……." She let the sentence trail off. "That won't ever happen Rose," Jack said reassuringly. "I would never let that happen."

"Promise?" "I promise." Jack kissed her lightly on the lips. "I love you Jack." "I love you too. Let's keep going, shall we?" "Of course." He threw his head back dramatically and held his nose up in the air. Rose laughed and linked her arm in his.

"Come, let us walk." Her voice assumed a false air of superiority. They strolled off laughing, blissfully wrapped in their love.

But unbeknownst to the lovers someone was watching. Cal watched them with malice filled eyes, vowing not to let them escape so easily. That, was of course the easy part; the hard part was how was he to stop them?

Cal returned to his suite, possible plans drifting through his mind. He smiled as the perfect plan took shape. And what a plan it was. Cal couldn't remember the last time his mind had worked this well.

He didn't care. All he cared about was setting his plan into action as soon as possible. And he knew just where to begin.

Jack breathed in the scent of Rose's hair and sighed peacefully. He couldn't imagine what his life would be like without Rose, and he didn't want to. He held her tightly, lightly kissing her ear. Rose smiled happily. "Jack, have I told you how amazing you are lately?" "No, I don't believe that you have." "Well, you are."

Jack separated himself from Rose and kissed her lovingly. She quickly deepened it. "You know, I don't think we should do this out here." Jack scanned the crowded deck. "You're right." He took her hand. "Come with me."
