LOVE IS MORE THAN A FEELING
Chapter Ten

Jack and Rose's honeymoon was finally over. They were on the train back to New York.

"Jack, I'll never forget that time we shared," Rose said as she squeezed his hand.

"Me, either. That was the most fun time of my life," Jack added.

The train finally pulled into New York. Jack and Rose got their luggage and took a carriage to their apartment.

"Jack! Rose! You're home!" Fred said as he greeted his friends.

"It's good to be back," Jack said.

"Rose!" Monica called as she ran to her friend. They hugged.

"How was Santa Monica?" Fred asked.

"It was great! It was the most beautiful place I have ever been," Rose said.

"Rose, are those new earrings?" Monica asked.

"Yes. Jack gave them to me."

"Fred, why can't you ever buy me something like this?" Monica asked her husband.

"Because you spend all of my money!" Fred said. "Now, honey, I was just kidding. I love you."

"Yeah, right," Monica said back, being sarcastic.

"Anyway, Rose, did you go to the beach?"

"Yes. It was so beautiful! I loved it!"

"I'm just finishing up supper. Why don't you and Jack go unpack and come back down to eat when you're done?" Monica asked.

"All right," Rose said as she and Jack went upstairs.

Once they got there, they started to unpack. Rose got the journal Jack got her. She smiled as she looked at it.

"Thanks again for my wedding gift," Rose said.

Jack smiled at her, "You're welcome. Thanks for mine, too."

Once they were done, they went back downstairs.

"Oh, good, just in time," Monica said as she put down the plate of potatoes.

"Oh, Monica, it looks delicious," Rose said.

Monica smiled and sat down.

"Rose, Jack, this is for you. We didn't get a chance to give it to you after the wedding, so here's your gift," Fred said.

"Oh, Fred, you and Monica didn't have to get us anything," Rose said.

"Open it," Monica said.

"Here. You can do it, Jack," Rose said as she handed the box to Jack.

He opened it and smiled as he saw what was inside. It was a photo album with pictures of the four of them.

"This was so sweet of you," Rose said.

Jack and Rose flipped through the pictures. They had pictures of the four of them playing cards, eating dinner, all kinds of pictures.

"As you can see, Monica gets a little to carried away with her camera," Fred said.

"I'm glad she does. It's good to have pictures of all of us," Jack said as he smiled at Monica.

At the last part in the photo album, Jack and Rose saw a picture of himself and Rose on the horse in Santa Monica.

"When did you get this?" Rose asked as she smiled at them.

"Oh, don't worry. They sent two copies of the picture. I put one of them in there. Is that all right?" Monica asked.

"Of course it is," Rose said.

"See, Rose, I told you that you'd learn how to ride like a man," Jack said as he kissed Rose on the cheek.

"I know you did. I love you, Jack."

"I love you more."
