Year 1839
The sky was just like any other day Emily can remember, blue sky with white clouds swirling around it. The sun still shine bright with cool wind blowing making the autumn leaves fall from the trees.But what makes it different today for her was that she was at her husband's grave celebrating his fifth death anniversary. Henry Elliot Stone rest in peace 1809-1834. Tears trickled down her cheeks remembering those sweet memories when they were together as husband and wife...

"Henry... What's the rush? Where are you taking me?"Emily asked with her eyes still feeling heavy."Shhh... sweetheart I am taking you out from here.. To a place where we can be together and forever. Just you and me." Instantly her eyes widen and her heart skip a beat when she heard those words from him even though she felt sleepy just before. Her father, an Earl, will never approve her relationship with a boy who has no connection or even power.Henry is a boy with mesmerizing hazel eyes and blond hair. He was just a sailor boy working in her father's ship. Both of them met when her father decided to take her on a tour in the sea.They fell in love after meeting each other more than once without her father's knowledge but when Emily's father discover their secret relationship, everything when wrong.
There was a knock on the door. "Come in my daughter" Mr Darcy said. "Father you called me?". "Yes, my dear, I've something to tell you now." There was a pause and both of them stare at each other for some time.Emily gulped and all of the sudden she felt fear with the coldness that her father spoke to her just now. "Wha- What is it father?"she stuttered." I believed you and I know that you are to be engaged to a Marquess since childbirth... So,I need you to stop seeing this, this sailor boy that is working in my ship." His ire rising than before. " His name is Henry father." Emily said with an even tone even though her anger is rising. The need to walk away from her father was far too tempting. How can her father discriminate the boy she care to love and by far the only boy that has capture her heart even after going through many balls?
Without waiting for her father's reply, she stepped out of the room without banging the door.She went back to her room and start pacing about. A habit that she does to calm herself down.She's not those kind of spoiled rich ladies that would cry often for things that is unattainable but instead she would try to solve her own problems quietly.Unable to find a solution to her problem, she finally settle down on her four poster bed and succumbed to her sleep until now.Seeing Henry appearing at her balcony and asking her to elope is like a dream.The only solution to her problem.How she long to be with him forever.Freedom and happiness was just within her grasp.Without wasting anymore moment, she followed Henry out through the balcony and headed to a place called Gretna Green...
Now remember all those moments with him only make her feel sad and lonely as he is no longer with her.Hence, with just one last glance at her beloved one, she whispered,"Goodbye, Henry.." and start to walk away.
