David and Charlene were twirling around the dance floor. Band leader Wallace Hartley had his band playing a very lively tune. When it ended, Hartley raised his right arm to quiet the room. " We have many honeymooners on board". He pointed at a table. " This is Colonel John Jacob Astor and his beautiful bride Madeleine". The couple stood up and waved.
David and Charlene sat down. " I have a question to ask you". He looked around. " Not here".
" Let's go up to the Deck".
They walked up to the Boat Deck. They stood next to the railing. It was a cloudless night. The ship's lights were glowing heavy on the water.
" What was the question you wanted to ask me?".
" I was looking at the Gospels". He smiled. " It said that Jesus would eat with sinners and even tax collectors".
" That's right". She shivered because of the coolness of the night. " He loves all people".
He looked at her with a concerned stare. " Would he even accept me?".
" Of course he would". She held tightly onto his right arm. " When you are ready for that decision". She smiled. " I'll be here".
" I'm not quite ready yet".
