The golden hour bathes the Titanic’s deck in amber light. A young first-class girl gazes at the churning waves, heavy with familial strife. Unseen, an 18-year-old boy with sun-bleached hair and piercing blue eyes sits on a nearby bench. Charcoal moves swiftly across rough paper, capturing her silhouette. He pauses, mesmerized by the sway of her dress and the breeze in her hair. The moment she turns, meeting his gaze, the sketchbook freezes.
