April 13th

Oh, Diary, what a wonderful time I had tonight!

I'll start off with our mid-day meal, seeing there a little details from before that. The food was, as always, wonderful. I suspect I will be more heavy after this journey! Apparently the other young lady who sits at the table with us as meet someone special on the ship; she told us all about him while the women she is traveling with scowled slightly.

I finished as fast as I could, and excused myself only as quickly. It was 8: 45 when I met Daniel by the lifts.

"You're early!" He greeted me happily. I nodded and smiled.

"So are you, you've obviously been waiting for awhile, I presume?" I asked as we got into the lift.

"Yes. How is it you're always right, Hannah?" I blushed a violent shade of red.

The party was truly fantastic, though I did get some odd looks from the 3rd class passengers, seeing as I was wearing one of my finest dresses.

Daniel and I searched around the people for Gracie. We found her eventually; she was sitting at a table with a boy who had golden hair and a nice smile.

"Daniel! Hannah!" Gracie called us over. Daniel grabbed my hand and lead me through the crowd of people.

"This is Daniel's friend, Hannah," Gracie introduced me to the boy, putting a lot of emphases on the word 'friend'. "Hannah, this is William."

I nodded. The band that was playing started a lively tune, and people started to dance. Daniel looked at me and smiled.

"Would you like to dance with me, Hannah?"

"Of course I would!" I said grabbing his hand, blushing.

The song seems to last forever, but also seems like it ended in the blink of an eye. I had never danced with a young man before, and felt nervous being so close to Daniel, but eventually got into it, and was saddened when the song ended and there was a rise of scattered applause and laughter.

We both sat the next dance out, and instead decided to watch Gracie and William.

All to soon the night was over, and Daniel was walking my back to first class. We walked around the boat deck for awhile, despite the time and cool temperature.

"I had a great time tonight," Daniel said, as we both leaned on the railing, looking down at the cold, dark ocean.

"So did I," I said, lifting my head, the cool night hair blowing through my hair.

I leaned in slightly closer to Daniel, because he was warm, and the ocean air was somewhat cool. He smiled.

"Hannah," he said quietly. "When we dock in New York, I really, really want to keep in touch with you. I know that I've only known you for about 3 days, but I have become very attached to you, and I think it would be horrible for us to leave, and never see each other again."

"I think the same thing," I said. He smiled, and turned to me.

"I really like you Hannah, more than I probably should." He tucked a loose piece of my pale hair behind my ear.

"I really like you too, Daniel," I said, smiling at him, "probably more than I should."

He smiled, and leaned into me. Slowly, his lips gently brushed mine, and I felt a shiver penetrate through my whole body. He quickly pulled away.

"I really like you Daniel," I said again, looking up at him, his green eyes twinkling.
