Adeline stepped onto the bow and walked towards Harry. "I changed my mind, Harry. They told me you would be up-"
"Sh. Give me your hand." Harry said.
Harry held out his hand and Adeline took it. "Now close your eyes."
She closed her eyes and felt Harry lead her to the front of the ship.
"Step up on to the railing." He continued. Adeline stepped up onto the railing and Harry held her, making sure she didn't fall.
"Do you trust me?"
"I trust you." She said. Harry's heart skipped a beat, she trusted him. Harry extended her arms into a t-pose, and it looked like she was flying. He held onto to her waist and told her to open her eyes.
Adeline gasped. "I'm flying! Harry I'm flying!" She exclaimed.
Harry whispered in her ear. "Come Josephine, in my flying machine." He whispered, before placing her hands in his.
Adeline looked at Harry for a moment and then wrapped one of her arms around Harry's neck and began to kiss him. Harry was shocked at first but nonetheless, kissed her back.
In that moment, Adeline only focused on Harry, and ignored the rock of a diamond engagement ring that was on her finger.

The two walked back to the sitting room in the suite Adeline and her family were staying in, closing the door behind them. "It's quite proper I assure you."
Harry looked around the room, compared to his cabin in third class, this room looked like it belonged in the queen's palace.
"Don't artist need good light?" Adeline asked.
"It's just I'm not used to working in such, conditions." Harry said jokingly.
Adeline walked into the small room inside the sitting room began to unlock Cal's safe.
"Cal insists on brining this hideous thing everywhere." Adeline said, getting the Heart of the Ocean out of Cal's safe and the velvet box.
"Will we be expecting him or your father anytime soon?" Harry asked.
"Not as long as the cigars and Brandy hold out."
Adeline walked over to Harry for him to look at the diamond before drawing. "Is it a sapphire?" Harry asked.
"No, a diamond, a very rare diamond."
Adeline paused before speaking again.
"Harry, I want you to draw me like one of your French girls."
"Alright."
"Wearing this, and only this." Harry's head turned towards her, but he nodded.

Harry got everything ready to begin drawing, even moving the furniture around. Soon Adeline walked into the room wearing a sheer kimono robe.
She walked towards him with some money in her hand. "The last thing I need is another picture of me looking like a porcelain doll. So as a paying customer, I expect to get what I want." Adeline said before dropping the robe and only wearing the diamond necklace.
"Over on the bed- couch." Harry said.
Harry felt a bit nervous; he didn't know why though.
After getting positioned in the right pose, Harry began to draw Adeline. "Head down and keep your eyes on me."
Harry did feel a small blush creep up to his cheeks.
"I believe your blushing Mr. Artiste. I couldn't imagine Monsieur Monette ever blushing." Adeline said.
"He does landscapes."
After a while, Harry got done drawing and Adeline put her robe back on.
"I want you to date it Harry, that way we can always remember it."
Harry did so and signed a date by his signature on the bottom of the paper.
04/14/1912
Harry handed her his whole sketchbook, so no-one would try and find out about this happening. She took off the diamond and placed it back in the velvet box, before putting it back in the safe.
She quickly scribbled a note on a piece of paper before placing it on top of the drawing.
