The Last Meeting
I had just delivered my papers to Daniel Defoe, and now I was on my search for William. I felt extremely nervous for some reason. I still didn't know what he thought of me. I had been through so much, and there was still much he didn't know. I was dying to see him again, but I was scared.
How could I be scared of William? Even though Minerva says all fear is the same, this fear is much different from when I faced the Brazilian or when I attacked ships when I was a pirate.
Would William still think of me as a pirate, or would he see me as the old Nancy I used to be, and still am? I hoped he'd see me as I am, and I'd see him as he was. I was aching for our lives to go back to normal between us. I want to get married to him, and I already have our wedding day planned in my head.
As I walked down the streets of London, my thoughts turned to Minerva and Vincent's wedding. I wished our wedding would be as wonderful as theirs, and I knew it would. Sadness overcame me when I thought that Minerva would not be attending my wedding. I remembered when we cried together at her wedding, while holding each other. It was such a sad moment, but it was because it was one of the happiest moments of my life.
While thoughts of Minerva and William swirled around in my head, I suddenly thought of Broom. I laughed at the memories of him at the wedding. He's a fine man, and a great pirate captain as well. I would miss him too, and hopefully he will come to our wedding.
I reached into my pocket, which was a piece of paper Broom had given me. On it was an address scribbled, which was believed to be where William might be waiting. I took a deep breath, and headed that way.
I had been walking for such a long time, beginning to be swallowed by emotions. I had too much time to think. I had to get into Williams arms, and fast. As I looked up, everything seemed to go in slow motion. William was standing there, lifting his head, and staring right into my eyes. I stood on the opposite side of the street, giving him a smile. We both stood still and silence, speaking through our eyes and smiles. Then, when I finally couldn't take it anymore, I burst into tears, and ran to my William. My dear William.
There was no time to speak. I sobbed as he held me, and I held him too. He was the only one I had right now, and I was clad he took me back. He never protested against my sobbing. He let me hug him, kiss him, drench him with my tears. I swear I saw a tear in his eyes as well.
"I'm so glad you're back, Nancy." He said, squeezing me harder.
"Me too, William, me too."
He stood me out at arms length, examining me with a large smile on his face. I wiped my eyes, and smiled too.
"Do you still have my ring?" he asked, taking out his. I never said a word. I just took it out from around my neck and showed it to him. Then, to my great delight, William went down on his knees, and said, "Nancy Kington, will you marry me?"
I thought I was going to cry again, but I blinked back my tears. "Are you sure you're up to marrying a pirate?"
"Aye, I am." He smiled up at me, then he drew me close again and she shared another kiss.
Look out for a longer sequel of their wedding coming soon!
