Captain Hook scowled and stood by his bed at the same time. His eyes were on Cecilia while she writhed under two blankets. ''My betrothed was sick for some time.

Eyes widened the minute Cecilia's spirit faded into view. They settled on tears.

Captain Hook viewed Cecilia vanishing. *My betrothed is suffering without me* he thought. His tears were eventually revealed.
