Katherine stepped away from the dock and watched as the ships disappeared into the horizon. Her love sat at the back of the ship and waved to her. She cried watching him leave.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A few months and many Rum bottles later………….

Katherine tipped-toed down to the docks to watch the ships roll in; she had this since her love left Port Royal. She sat down at the end of the dock and kicked her feet back and forth.

"Now why is such a lovely woman sitting alone on a dock at this hour of a night?" A familiar voice asked from behind her.

"Crowley, you know why I'm here. I've been here every night for almost 6 months." Katherine replied as Crowley sat next to her.

"He's only gone to San Marlow and Tortuga."

"Yes, this is why he should be back by now!" Katherine answered in protest. Crowley shook his head.

"He wasn't eaten by the Kraken if that's what you're getting at."

"Saints in HEAVEN! Must you do that! Curses!" Katherine replied and stood. "Good night Crowley," She finished and walked away.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A knock came at Crowley's door. He stood from his chair and answered the door.

"Commodore, what might I owe such a pleasure?" Crowley asked and gave a small bow.

"Where is she?" The Commodore asked and pushed is way through to the inside.

"At her home, Sir. Where else could she be?"

"Well I was informed that you two had been seen earlier. I will keep the names quiet private." The Commodore replied. Crowley nodded. "Thank you for your help."

Katherine stood on the balcony staring at the sea. The moon was hitting it gently and the waves were splashing against the rocks.

"Miss Sinclair! Miss Sinclair!" A female voice yelled as an elderly woman entered her Chambers.

"Yes Nana what is it?"

"A letters arrived…it's from James!" Nana yelled happily. Katherine pulled the letter away feverishly and noticed the seal was already broken. Nana looked down.

"I was a bit curious, Miss. Me and the girls that's all."

"Yes well you're dismissed, that's all." Katherine mimicked her. Nana walked out. Katherine walked to the balcony; where she read every letter from James.

My Dearest Katherine,

We've just made port on Curio, a small island off Tortuga. I will be home in a few days. I have many gifts and surprises for you. I miss you everyday. I had a dream about you yesterday. It seemed as though you were there. I can smell your perfume just thinking of you. I cannot wait to hold you.

Your Love Forever And Ever,

Commodore James Norrington

She set the letter on the rail and cried. All his lettered did. She stared out at the ocean again. As she thought of him she could almost hear him calling her.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Katherine! Katherine!" James yelled as he spotted her standing on the balcony. She looked around. "Katherine down here!" She looked down and looked at him. She quickly fled from the balcony.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Katherine pushed the servants out of her way as she ran down the halls. She almost tripped as she jumped down the steps of the marble staircase. She quickly pulled open the door and ran to him.

James dropped his things as she ran to him. He caught her as she jumped on him. He breathed in deep her perfume.

She could smell the heavy scent of rum and the sea.

"I've missed you, so much." She whispered, she shed a few tears.

"And I you, I've thought very often of you." James replied and kissed her cheek. She sighed.

"And what is this I see?" A male voice said from the front door. James let Katherine land on her feet.

"Father! He's come home! He's come home!" Katherine replied happily.

"Lord Sinclair," James replied with a bow.

"Ah! My boy come in, come in!" Lord Sinclair replied and ushered him into the house.

"Don't stand there, get his things bring them in." Katherine ordered and followed them inside.
