Heart of the Ocean: Heartbeat
by copal@back-to-titanic.com
The skins above are the first two in a trilogy about The Heart of the Ocean. In "Heart of Ice" Cal gives Rose the necklace as a symbol of his ownership of her, not out of love. Rose turns the necklace into a symbol of her freedom from Cal when she poses for Jack in "Heartbeat". The final installment, which is in progress, is about Rose dropping the necklace back into the water, when it changed yet again into Rose's absolution about her life having been lived fully.
