Will has been in the room since the sun went down two nights ago. But, he decides, I've got to get up some time.

Tales have been circulating recently about the Black Pearl and her not-so-damned crew.

Ana has been seen in the fruit market just down the road. Gibbs in the pub. And others still, in the whorehouse.

"He's not where you think he is, m'boy." The shadows say, forming a body as Bill steps into the light.

"It's not as if I care anyway," Will lies looking up into his father's eyes, "he can go have sex with any whore out there and still I wouldn't care."

"You would care, you do care. You wish he were faithful. You wish he'd love you and only you." By the end of this exclamation Will was near tears, trying not to succumb to that particular weakness, nodding slowly.

It was the same with Elizabeth. He'd wished she'd be faithful, and she was, to a point. But really, you can't say you love someone and expect to be faithful and loyal if you're already in love with someone else. And she was in love, for quite some time actually. Some sailor he's sure he'd never met. But then, of course, he could say the same of her.

The life long love he'd always had. He knows that it was better that way, her loving another, because after he met Jack, he was head over heels.

And look where it led him. All alone, once again.
