She snuggled up closer to his chest, stealing some of his warmth. She smiled to herself knowing that she was truly in love with this man and nothing could ever change that. When he wrapped his arms around her slim form and pulled her even closer to him she let out a soft sigh of satisfaction.
"Love?" His voice was low and gentle as he questioned her.
"Yes?" She answered back quietly, allowing her head to rest on his chest. His light heartbeat was enough to make her drift off to a deep sleep.
"You know I'm gonna have to leave. Been here for nearly a month now. The crew gets antsy." This made her frown, she pulled away bringing the sheet with her to hide her nakedness.
"So soon?" She asked as tears began to form in her eyes. She tired her best to blink them away.
"Don't cry, dearie." He reached out and brushed away at the few tears that had dropped from her eyes. His heart was breaking to see her like this. "I promise to be back as soon as possible. And you know that there is always a place for you on the Pearl."
She sat up straight with her back against the headboard. Pulling her knees up and hugged them to her chest as she bit her lip. "You know I can't live the Cove, Jack." Her voice was small and fragile. "Just hurry back, iplease/i" She begged him as he made a move to get up.
"You have my word, love." He gathered up his clothing and quickly dressed. He sat down on the bed in front of her and reached for her hand. "I'll be seein' sooner than you think, darlin'." He smiled a real smile not a grin or a snicker, a warm smile.
"I love you, Jack." She breathlessly spoke as she leaned forward to kiss him. No sooner the kiss was over, he was gone. And Elizabeth was left alone crying her self to sleep.
