Epilogue:

Several years later, back to Joanne's interview with Alexi Darling...

"And so, I got off the ship with my new family." Joanne finished her story.

"What happened to them?" questioned Alexi sadly. The story that Joanne told her touched her more then she thought it would. "Are they alive?"

"Roger is a fine musician now, not as big as he use to be but he still knows how to play a good tune. You can catch him down at some of the local blues pubs they have around here." she smiled and went on. "Mimi is a dance teacher at Julliard,"

"What about Mark?"

"What about me?"

Alexi jumped when a new voice came into the picture. It was an older gentleman. "Mr. Cohen?"

"The one in the same." he answered with a smile and extended his hand. "Sorry if I interrupted you."

"Trust me not a problem." she assured him.

"Tell her what happened to you Mark." Joanne urged her friend on.

"I told our story, like she wanted me too." he answered with a smile and pulled out something from his coat pocket and handed it to the reporter.

"1912," Alexi read the title. Then the author. "By Mark Cohen."

"So, you became a writer?" questioned Alexi.

"Yes." he answered. "You may keep that one."

"Oh, I couldn't." she protested.

"Yes you can." he told her. "Trust me, there are plenty more where that came from."

"Can I ask you to sign it?" Alexi asked.

"Sure." So, Mark sighed it with a smile and added best wishes.

"Thank you." Alexi said.

"Ms. Darling, we have to wrap this up." one of her crew men informed her.

"All right, all right." Alexi said. "Would you like to add anything else for a closing statement."

"Love is always worth fighting for." Joanne finished.

"And living for." added Mark. "It's a great chance to take."

"There you have it folks." Alexi turned back to the camera. "This is Alexi Darling signing off for Buzzline."

"When will this story air?" Mark questioned.

"Next Monday, nine pm." she answered him with a smile.

"I'm not going to miss it." Joanne promised her.

"Thank you so much, and you too Mr. Cohen." Alexi thanked them one more time before gathering her camera crew and went back to the office.

"Are you okay?" Mark asked Joanne once the reporter was gone.

"Believe it or not, I am." Joanne answered him. "I'm surprised you didn't tell them about the movie deal."

"You know James said I'm not supposed to say anything just yet." Mark reminded her. "The idea is still up in the air. He has told me he has an excellent idea for whom to play me and Phoebe if the movie gets done."

"Who?"

"Some actor named Leonardo DiCapio for me and a woman named Kate Winslet for Phoebe. I'm going to meet them next month."

Joanne's mouth dropped. She couldn't believe it. "Are you serious?"

"Yeah, James says they're two of the hottest stars in Hollywood right now."

"He's right." Joanne said. "You better take me with you. Kate is amazing!"

Mark laughed. "Okay, you can come."

Joanne couldn't believe this was happening. Thanks to James Cameron Mark and Phoebe's story was going to be told and thanks to Ms. Darling Maureen and her story would live on as would Collins and Angel. People would know of these wonderful people and how they saved them, in more ways then one.
