When The Past Haunts Part 3-
The music of the song "Beautiful Dreamer" sung by Stehpan foster starter to play for Jack and Elizabeth's dance. They decide to dance beneath the starlight and city lights at the patio. The lyrics rang like music to their ears. Both couldn't help but sing into each other ears
"Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me,
Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee;
Sounds of the rude world, heard in the day,
Lull'd by the moonlight have all pass'd away!
Beautiful dreamer, queen of my song,
List while I woo thee with soft melody;
Gone are the cares of life's busy throng,
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!

Beautiful dreamer, out on the sea
Mermaids are chanting the wild lorelie;
Over the streamlet vapors are borne,
Waiting to fade at the bright coming morn.
Beautiful dreamer, beam on my heart,
E'en as the morn on the streamlet and sea;
Then will all clouds of sorrow depart,
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!"

After the music and song ended Jack and Elizabeth watch the stars gleam and shine bright. Then Jack notice a shooting star and told Elizabeth,
"I found a shooting star."
Elizabeth said "And what did you wish for?"
Jack asked,"Close your eyes and I will tell you"
Elizabeth closed her eyes Jack smiled stroked her cheek down to her chin used his hand to lightly pulled Elizabeth into a kiss. After the kiss, Jack let out a sigh of relief and told her;
"I wanted to do that for longest time tonight."
Elizabeth giggled with flattery and said, "That is sweet Jack, and I am sorry about my mother she should have treated you like you were non-existent. You shouldn't have been treated that way."
Jack took her hand, "Elizabeth, it is okay, your parents they missed you they love you they want what is best for you."
"You are what is best for me, Jack, I am so happy you return home to me."
"You are my home Elizabeth, you are where my heart lies."
"I can't wait to return to Coal Valley, miss Abigail and children and so thrilled to start teaching in a school house than a saloon." Elizabeth said cheerfully
"Well don't have to rush coming back, we months before summer's over besides want us to spend more time with your family and maybe on the way home you can visit mine."

Danger unfortunately still lurk in midst as Julie, Mr and Mrs Thatcher return home. Billy Hamilton rise of out the bushes got out his gun as he made way towards the Thatchers'
While dancing it is the strangest thing Elizabeth felt so happy but she had a feeling something was just not right she couldn't place this feeling so try to ignore it and let Jack sway her to smoothing sound of the music playing. Maybe she tired and the day full drama drained her. Jack could tell with her expressions on her she had an overwhelming night. So he asked her,
"Enough dancing for tonight my lady."
"Indeed, this evening was overwhelming."
"Say no more, I will fetch us carriage."
"No indeed, it nice evening to walk."
"Are you sure."
"I am sure besides if I get tried I know that I can always depend on you to carry me home." Elizabeth giggled
Jack chuckled, "Very well" Jack puts on Elizabeth's coat he wraps his around arms behind her kisses her cheek whispers,
"I am glad, I was here, to show your family how I love you and want to protect for the rest of my life."
