The fare room was darkened by the lack of light. Adalyn tossed and turned all so much so that Thomas would have been surprised if the stitching held... once more. As he rose from the silk sheets he lit a candle in the cabin and began making a hot cup of coffee. Most aboard the titanic preferred the taste of the assortment of teas but neither adalyn nor Thomas, could agree more the best way to start the early morning was with a cup of coffee. As the waves lapped across the ocean and into the ship there was an unspokenness regarding more than a thing or two. The first thing that was always on adalyns mind was once the docked the ship for good in America what would happen to ismay would he be tried Would the jury even find him guilty and if so would he retaliate against the couple. Couple that was another sort of term Adalyn could not get off her mind, what did that mean and look like for them especially her. Would she move back with her mum and father or would she find her own place amount other things could her and Thomas possibly live together? She had most definitely felt safe and cared for with him and more so her heart couldn't bare to be away from him. So that left a rather rattled Adalyn leaving her with a load of responsibility this morning.

"Good morning darling" Thomas's Irish accent intoxicating the room as he handed adalyn a fresh cup of brew. "Good morning fair sir and I thank you" as Adalyn mocked a curtsy her hand quickly rushing to her side
"No need for that darling" as Thomas knelt down beside her and guided her to the chair once more.

"Now we have the matter of the ball this fair evening darling, it will be filled with our first class guests, I know you have the gown and I've already rung your parents they will be in attendance, if your up to attend that is?"

"Yes! I don't even need to consider! Yes I'll be there, are you in a-a attendance or are you inspecting the ship further?" I questioned

He chuckled and put his arm on my shoulder
"Darling I think the ship can hold off until the morning following the ball, besides I wouldn't miss any opportunity to dance with you"
A blush sightly crept over my pale complexion

"You should know I'm not overly fond of my dancing skills, I've been taking classes since I was a girl but I haven't nearly enough to show for it, never the less I think I'll be heading for tea" my hands rose up and caressed his arm tenderly

"I think that's a lovely idea darling I do believe I'll be joining you, normally you join your parents I assume, will that be alright if I join this tea?" Thomas slewed as his eyes became slightly concerned

"Why yes that's quite alright with me" and with that I began getting ready. Thankfully Trudy stopped by and kindly gathered my belongings.
