"Will, Darling, whom may I ask is calling in the middle of a Saturday?"
Elizabeth inquired.
"You'll never guess, so why don't you come in here and see for yourself,"
laughed Will as Jack told him how Gibbs "gracefully" tripped over some rope
coming into Port Royal.
"JACK!?" gasped Elizabeth.
"'ello Love!" welcomed Jack.
"It's absolutely wonderful to see you, you ol' scally-wag!" giggled
Elizabeth as they hugged.
"Same to you...except for that, um...scally-wag part," stuttered Jack, tipping
his hat to Mrs. Turner.
"You must be hungry, Jack, I'll go have the maids prepare a nice feast of
celebration tonight," suggested Will.
"Sounds wonderful!" exclaimed the hungry pirate.
As Jack cleaned up for dinner; considering he's been out at sea for who knows how long, Will was trying to decide whether to tell Elizabeth about Jack's proposal. They entered the lavishly decorated dining hall, waiting what kind of scrumptious feast the kitchen had prepared. "Will, is there something troubling you?" asked Elizabeth "What? Oh, no, I'm fine, dear, just surprised of Jack's arrival," Will lied.
Even though Jack's, um...dressing choices, were strange for the occasion (even after he cleaned up, he looked quite scruffy against the white linen table cloth), the kitchen staff paid no attention to it. They enjoyed their yummy, authentically-Caribbean meal, lobster, clams, fresh fruit, etc. Staying inside was absolutely unheard of in the Caribbean so as Elizabeth changed into something a little cooler, Will and Jack had another talk. "Will, have you made you decision yet?" asked eager Jack "Jack, do you understand what you are asking me?!" exclaimed Will, "I would have to leave my home, my job, my life." "And, of course, Elizabeth." mumbled Jack. "WHAT?!" yelled Will, almost drawing attention to himself, "What do you mean, 'leave Elizabeth'? Jack, she's my wife, I couldn't just leave her behind!" "I understand where you are coming from, me dear lad, but this is not a woman's journey. It is far more dangerous than any other 'treasure hunt', if you will, before!" explained Jack.
Will wanted to go of course.I But what will Elizabeth think when I just leave? She's my wife, we love each other, I can't just leave her behind. Maybe there is someway to convince Jack to let her come, but no, he already refused, and Jack is one stubborn pirate. On the other hand, I can't just say "no" to Jack, he saved Elizabeth and I more than once, we owe him our lives. I guess I have no choice.../i
