We were sailing I felt I was free, with the wind blowing through my hair and his arms around my waist, I felt safe.
"It's beautiful" I said
"Just wait until we get there" he replied.
I closed my eyes and felt the cold chill of the breeze on my face.
I had the theme tune of the Titanic running through my mind, was that a good thing? In the story yes she falls in love, but he also dies.
"Evangeline!" called mother." Dinner!"
"We're coming!" I replied
I turned so I was facing Danny.
"Are you coming?" I asked
"Give me a minute" he said
He kissed me tenderly as I left.
Dinner was set and everyone was ready to begin,
"Come on Evie" called Adam. "where is Danny?"
"He said he'll be down a minute. Now let's eat!" I said.
Danny came down the stairs.
"Sorry I'm late everybody I had to take a call" he had lied I knew it I could read it on his face.
I frowned but carried on eating.
The conversation turned to me.
"So Evangeline, have you decided which University you're going to study at?" asked Mrs Knept.
Mrs Knept had a strong character, according to her, I was never good enough for her son.
"I got a letter yesterday, I hesitated, the Royal Collage of dance has offered me a scholarship."
Danny slammed his hands on the table, the Sound echoed through the cabin.
"I thought you were going to Oxford with me!" he shouted.
I didn't know what to do, I looked At father, he was looked at his food, he looked ashamed, With me? I thought he wanted me to follow my dream and become a ballerina!
I left the table.
Why should father and Danny have acted like that tonight?
I sat on the edge of the bed, tears in my eyes. Mother came in.
She sat by me, and held me close. She smelled of almonds and flowers.
"Darling, I'm sorry I should have said something. That wasn't right of your father, and I'm sure Danny didn't mean to get so angry, I think he just wants you to be together."
She kissed my forehead and left before I could say anything else.
