We left the courthouse hand-in-hand, and our fingers were intertwined. We kept looking in each other's eyes and smiling-I didn't even realize how much he missed me until now.

"That was pretty good luck." Molly said, coming in-between us.

We smiled at her, but then looked back at each other. Molly laughed.

"Sorry, was I interrupting something?" She stepped backwards and let us come together to hold hands again. We laughed.

Once we were down the marble staircase, we stopped. Jack looked off into the distance with a confused look on his face, his blonde hair blowing in the wind.

"You have no place to go, do you?" Molly asked.

He looked at her, and I looked to the ground, guilty. She was right.

She sighed. "I don't know what to tell you, sweetie."

She was very sympathetic about it. I was afraid, but I was sure Jack would figure out something.

Someone interrupted Molly, so she just left Jack and I to ourselves. I looked up at him, not knowing what to do.

"It'll be okay, Rose. We'll figure out something." Jack said, but I saw in his eyes that he didn't have a clue.

"I'm sorry. Rose, I'm serious. I can't say it enough!" Jack said, again for the fifteenth time.

I laughed. "I'm fine Jack." In fact, I was more than fine. I was actually excited to spend the night under a bridge with Jack. I always had to spend my nights in luxurious mansions, having to sleep in a certain place and at a certain time…I felt free here.

He was leading us there and I guess I was grimacing a little too much because I wasn't used to it. He wanted anything and everything he could for me, and I knew this was the best that he could do. I had to make it clear to him that no matter what, I loved him more than anything.

I sat against the cold stone, trying to hide my hunger and coldness. Looking up at the stars, it reminded me of the night on the deck after we danced at the third-class party. When we sung and saw a shooting star. The memory made me forget my hunger and cold.

"Thinking about what I'm thinking about?" Jack said, sitting next to me and wrapping his arm around me.

"Probably." I said, smiling and kissing his cheek.

I put my head on his shoulder while he held me.

"Come Josephine in my flying machine going up she goes…up she goes. Balance…" Jack began to sing.

"Yourself like a bird on a beam" I chimed in.

"Going up she goes, THERE she goes!" We both sung at the top of our lungs. We laughed.

After we caught our breath and calmed down, it was silent for a couple seconds.

"Rose?"

"Yes?"

"I promise you. We're going to get a house someday. We're going to live somewhere way better than this."

"I know, Jack. We also need to get married." I smiled up at him.

"I know that too." He kissed me.

The next morning, I woke up sleeping on the gray stone. Jack's coat was wrapped around me. I moved my hair away from my eyes and looked for Jack. Before I started panicking and yelling, he appeared from behind the barrier.

"Oh, hey honey! Did you just wake up?" Jack said, holding a bag.

I nodded with a smile. "What did you get?"

"Oh, I woke up at the crack of dawn. I left so I could go find something to eat. I found some apples somewhere at a fruit stand close to the highway."

He opened the bag and threw me a bright red apple.

I beamed. It was perfect compared to what I thought he picked up, but I wasn't going to tell him that.

"Well, you ready to go?" He said, taking a bite out of his apple and smiling.

"Where?" I asked, taking his hand.

We began to walk.

"I don't know." He smiled again. "We'll find out."
