She wanted to tell him that she loved him, but she was afraid to. Anamaria didn't want to be one of those girls who he fell in love with, and then left. Even worse, what if she told him how she felt, and he didn't feel the same way? There were plenty of women in love with Jack Sparrow, so why should he have feelings for her, and not some other woman? She paced the length of her cabin, like she did every night, trying to decide what to do. Should she tell him, or should she not? She wanted to tell him, and it was making her crazy not to … she walked towards the door … but she wasn't sure what to say, or how to say it, without feeling stupid … she turned on her heel, and walked away from the door … "It's simple" she thought "you just go out there and tell him how you feel. Do you really want him to never know how you feel?" She did want him to know how she felt, and it felt good to realize that after so many nights of pacing in her cabin, only to reach the decision to wait until tomorrow to decide. She finished walking towards the door and opened it to go look for Jack. She didn't have to look far – Jack was just coming out of his cabin to look for her.
