"We were meant to meet, it's written in the stars."
On April 10, 1912, sixteen year old Emma Stuart and seventeen year old Harry O'Donoghue were complete strangers, merely two of the over 900 people who boarded the ill-fated Titanic at Southampton. Emma, traveling second class, was returning home to Boston after a month-long tour of England with her mother and younger sister. Harry, a wealthy heir from Galway, was looking forward to reuniting with his parents in New York and visiting Niagara Falls, Toronto, and various other places in the American Northeast.
By the early hours of April 15, they aren't ready to say goodbye, having spent many hours together after an accidental encouter, despite their difference in classes. Unsure of their future together and eventually separated, they fight for their chances of survival and love.
15 April 1912, 1:55 am: I watched as the greatest ship of all time start slipping beneath the ice cold waves of the Atlantic Ocean. I was holding on to a jacket that was given to me as I watched debris get thrown in to help those who couldn't get on a boat.
The man that I fell into a deep romance, maybe even fell in love, with was sitting next to me on lifeboat number 5 as we watched the unsinkable ship slip into the bottom of the ocean. I felt my tears freezing up as I cried. How did this happen? How did the unsinkable ship sink?
