Rose POV:

Sitting at tea with my mother and her stuck up acquaintances was a pain. It was even more painful thinking of the way I hurt Jack. I loved him, I really did but it was wrong. I was engaged. I may not have loved Cal but that didn't give me the right to have an affair. Still, maybe I could've gone about it a better way. I could never forget the look on his face when I told him to leave me alone. He seemed... Heartbroken. And it hurt even more that I was responsible for it.

I looked over to a little girl, maybe about the age of nine, placing a napkin on her lap. I closed my eyes and thought of me back then. I'd always be dreaming about my future. About how I'd meet a handsome, young man. That man would be wild, fun, carefree, happy. And he would love me with all his heart. Could that man be Jack? I stared at her in sadness as I pondered over my future. Maybe I could stop this?

Jack POV:

As I leaned at the bow, staring into the beautiful ocean, I couldn't help but feel upset. I loved her and... She didn't want me. She wanted Cal. It made sense, he was her fiancée but I couldn't believe I let her slip away like that. I want to have her, I want to hold her, I want to be hers. But she wished for me to leave her alone and I had to respect that. I heard a few footsteps behind me and figured it was Fabrizio coming to check up on me. "Hello, Jack." Then I heard the voice. The soft, beautiful, angelic voice. Her voice. I turned around and there she was, standing there, shining in the sunset. "I changed my mind..." I smiled. I felt so happy, so relieved. She did want me after all she just couldn't find the way through it. "Give me your hand"

Rose POV:

"Give me yourhand" he said, holding his out for me. I slowly reached out and grabbed it. He instructed me to close my eyes and I did so, hesitant at first. I felt him slowly walk me forward until i felt the railing. "Now step up," he said. This part feared me. The last time I stepped onto a rail, I nearly died. But Jack wouldn't put me in danger. And if I fell, I wouldn't die. He wouldn't let that happen. He would grab me and never let go. "Hold onto it. Now, do you trust me?" Of course I did. I trusted him more than myself. I trusted him with my life. "I trust you." Eyes still closed, I felt him slowly bring out both my arms so they were facing outwards. I couldn't help but laugh gently as he did so. I kept my arms like that as he held them. "Open your eyes."

I opened my eyes and stared out into the ocean. All I could do was gasp in awe. What was this feeling? It felt like I was soaring above the sea like some sort of majestic bird. "I'm flying! Jack..." I breathlessly said his name. The feeling was so rushing. As I stayed like that, he slowly made his way down my outstretched arms and held each of my hands in his. He softly sung to me, his head just inches away from mine

"Come Josephine, in my flying machine, going up she goes. Up she goes..." I turned my head to look at him and stared into his perfect eyes. He stopped singing as he stared back. I was unaware of who initiated it but the next thing I knew we were leaning in for a a kiss. It went slow at first, then got more passionate. I took one hand off of the railing and placed it onto the back of his head, getting more into the kiss. At that moment I had never felt so loved. Up until then, at least.
