Lilly wanted to run, but she knew that if she did it would attract attention. And that was the LAST thing she wanted right now. When she got back to her room, her roommates were there. Heather, the oldest of all of them in the room looked up as she walked in.

"Lilly, you look think someone slapped you. What's wrong?" Heather asked, worried.

Lilly couldn't help it, the tears came and they came hard. Heather sat her on a bunk and Lilly told her story, leaving out Steven's name. No matter how mad she was at him, she still loved him. With a gasp, she realized what she had just thought. When asked by the other girls why she gasped, she shook her head and stared at the floor.

"I just realized that I love him. I don't care what he thinks of me. I've actually fallen for a first class boy!" she laughed at the irony. The other girls soothed her until Lilly stopped crying. Then Heather got an idea.

"Lilly, tonight there is going to be a big party down in third class. Some of our friends from home are on the ship and they invited all of us. There will be dancing and laughing, just what you need! What do you say? You up for it?" she asked.

Lilly grinned and nodded vigorously "Of course!"

……….

Later that night, Steven made his way down to third class. His friend was waiting for him, but Steven hardly noticed. He had been looking for Lilly all day, he even asked the Purser for her room number, but had given up on that, thinking she probably wasn't in her room. He never did find her. He gave up searching and had gotten ready for the party.

When he got to the party, he followed his friend over to a group of men who were arm wrestling. There were two other people from first class down there as well. He watched as the first class girl showed the men how she could stand on the very tips of her toes. He clapped, thinking it was the second most amazing thing he had seen in his life, the first being Lilly. He was so absorbed in watching this girl; he never noticed Lilly and her roommates walking in.

Lilly and her friends immediately joined in with the dancing. Lilly laughed as if she had never laughed before. It was only after one dance that her laughter caught in her throat. She turned to walk off the dance floor when she bumped into a guy.

"I'm so sorry!" she yelled over the music "I didn't see-"her words caught in her throat, because the guy she ran into was Steven. She turned to walk away, hoping he didn't recognize her, but no such luck. He reached out and grabbed her hand and pulled her back…..and pulled her into the biggest hug anyone had ever given her.

"Lilly! Please don't be mad at me anymore. I didn't mean what I said earlier, I was just upset you didn't tell me before hand. Please don't be mad anymore, I don't think I could stand it!" Steven's words came out in a rush, but every one of them sunk into Lilly's brain like rain drops in soil. She returned is hug and laughed.

"How could I stay mad at you?" she said, loud enough for only him to hear.

Steven released her just enough to look into her eyes. "Lilly, I realized only a half an hour after you left me that I loved you more than anything in the world. Please, tell me that you don't hate me for what I said."

Lilly smile grew wide and she flung her arms around Steven's neck. "Of course I don't hate you! Steven, if I hated you, why would I possibly love you more than my own life!"

They danced every dance after this and Steven even took her back to her room afterwards. They spent their days together and he took her to dinner every night. On the day April 13th 1912, Steven asked her to take a walk with him after lunch. Lilly agreed. When they reached the bow, Steven took both Lilly's hands in his and stood in front of her.

"Lilly, I just want you to know, that you fill my thoughts day and night. Please, let me finish." He said when she opened her mouth to speak. She nodded and he continued. "Every moment I'm not with you, you haunt my mind. You're with me mind and Spirit. But I want something more." Before saying more, he kneeled down on one knee, still holding her hands. "Please say you will stand by my side, not just in mind and spirit, but in marriage as well."

Lilly's mouth dropped open and she started crying. Throwing herself at him, she accepted. They agreed that they would be married the moment they docked in New York.

But that night, their lives would be changed forever…..
