"You have to trust me." Jack tells me and I nod. "Cover your eyes, Lily." I do so with one hand and with the other I take Jack's, who leads me carefully. He puts me ahead of him and I slowly walk forward, until I feel him stop me. "Okay," I says quietly, "Open your eyes." When I do so, I can't help but gasp. We're on the bow of the ship and looking out onto the horizon and the wind is blowing my hair back.
"Jack!" I exclaim. "This is incredible!"
He laughs and takes my arms and lifts them out like a bird and the wind whistles through my hair as the ship ploughs through the water. "I feel like I'm flying!" I say as I tighten my grip on his hands.
We stand there for a few minutes, just watching the sea and feeling the wind our hair, before Jack takes my hand and leads me away from the bow of the ship. "It's getting late," He says. "You should probably get back to your family."
"Jack, that was amazing! I felt like I was flying!" I exclaim and he laughs. The smile leaves my face when I remember that I should be getting back to my family. I have no idea how long I have been gone for.
"What is it?" Jack asks me.
"I don't want to go back." I say. "I want to stay out here with you."
Jack smiles. "I'd like to do that too, but we can't always have everything we want." He says as I shiver slightly. "Are you cold?" He asks me and I nod.
He takes off his jacket and drapes it around my shoulders. "Come on," He takes my hand. "We need to get you back before you catch a cold."
We walk back along the deck until we see the 'First Class Only' sign lighting the doorway. "This is it." I say, turning to face him. "It's been so lovely tonight Jack. Will I see you again tomorrow?"
"Of course." He says with a smile. "Just look for me – I won't be too hard to find."
"Maybe tomorrow I could draw you?" I suggest with a smile.
"That sounds like a great idea." He says, and I notice that he's suddenly become conscious that we're standing outside the first class door, where he's not allowed to go.
I look inside and see Rose, Cal and my mother still around the table, but it doesn't look like they've seen me yet.
I sigh. "Goodnight, Jack."
"Goodnight, Lily DeWitt Bukateur." He says with a smile and kisses me on the check. "I'll see you tomorrow."
And with that, I hurry back inside.
