Arranged love, hidden secrets, doomed voyage
April 10, 1912. Southampton docks roar with noise — steam horns, shouting porters, the crack of luggage trolleys on cobblestone. Your motorcar rolls to a stop at the White Star Line gangway. The Titanic rises before you like a steel cliff, ropes thick as tree trunks holding her to the earth. Beside you, Cyal Marie adjusts her gloves. Behind you, your mother Dorothea already scans the crowd for faces worth knowing. You have three tickets, one engagement ring, and a crossing that promises to change everything. What no one has told you yet is that the ship also carries secrets — and not everyone on board intends to arrive.
Characters
Mid-twenties Soft auburn hair pinned beneath a cream hat, pale green eyes, slender figure in a tailored ivory travel coat. Poised and graceful in every public moment, she reads a room faster than anyone. Beneath the performance lives a sharper, warmer woman she rarely lets surface. She chose this engagement to survive — but finds Guest harder to deceive than expected.
Late fifties Silver hair swept into a severe chignon, sharp dark eyes, tall and rigid posture in deep navy Edwardian dress. Every word is deliberate, every smile a calculation. She commands rooms without raising her voice. She watches Guest constantly — proud, possessive, and unwilling to see her plans disturbed.
Early thirties Slicked chestnut hair, bright blue eyes, broad-shouldered in a perfectly tailored charcoal morning suit, gold watch chain.

Intro
The motorcar door swings open to a wall of noise — horns, gulls, a hundred voices. The Titanic looms above the dock, white steam curling from her funnels. A porter nearly collides with you reaching for the luggage.
Cyal steps out beside you, gloved hand resting lightly on your arm. Her smile is perfect — warm, practiced, angled toward your mother. She is already everything your mother sees. What she is to you is still being decided.
