Need a TITLE for my PLOT!!

Well, seeing as how I'm 13, and my plot could be about something not really age-appropriate for me, I can't ask my family for a title, so... Can anybody help me?? Here's the plot:

When a rendezvous turns sour, a young French/German prostitute has to escape from her “buyer”. She runs into Jack Weller, a budding British artist who is trying to imprint his art on the world, and he learns that she is trying to get away, but doesn’t know why. He decides to let her come with him and they both leave on a train. (This takes place in 1870s) They both begin to fall slowly in love.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Of course, Maria, the girl, doesn't tell Jack that she's a prostitute. She lies and says that the man she is running away from is her ex-husband (Or maybe just her husband..). Of course, I might change the plot to be more like:

She's still a prostitute, but when she runs from the man, she first runs into Jack when he's at an artist convention at the hotel she's at. She happens to be dressed like a maid, so he thinks nothing of it. Then after managing to stay hidden from the man, she sees an add in the newspaper for a helper to an artist. She visits the address to discover that the artist is Jack. She's familiar to him, but he doesn't remember where from, so she lies and says she's never met him.

He accepts her as his "apprentice" and they head off to another convention in England. As the man chases her at the train station, she lies to Jack and says that is her crazed ex-husband that she is trying to get away from.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think I like the second one the best, but I need some advice on which to choose. I also need a title, as I advertised in the title. Any help?

RE: Need a TITLE for my PLOT!!

I think they both could be very good but they are very difrent works so ... I like both... the secound one seems to establish the artist as well known (he goes to show after show in the first he just wants to be known). but titles the first one I would go with "Imprint"- it plays with his need to imprint his art on the world as well as how couples imprint themselves on each other's memory. to make it more liteeral she might have a tatto or scar the reminds her of her slavery - her slavery is imprinted on her body.

the next idea I would title "Convention" which would play on both the litteral locations that he goes to as well as drawing focus to how their freindship is unconventional.

as you might guess I like short titles names that just grab in one word. like "Doubt", "Proof", or "Rhinoceros" but as a devils advocate "How to succesed in Bussines without really trying" won a Tony best musical and "The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds" won the pultizer. I hope somehow this helps
