Will worked feverishly at the sword. He was very hot and thirsty. He had been working since 7am that morning and now the sun was beginning to set. Will and Elizabeth's wedding was only a month away, which was 4 months after their little adventure. He was working non-stop at his metal work. Trying to save up enough money for a small house. Will knew it would be a drastic step down from her mansion, but it would be enough for them – he hoped.

He hung up the almost completed sword on the rack, took off his leather apron and threw it over the anvil.

"Good evening, Mr. Brown" Will said to the passed out old man in the corner.

He grumbled something. Will sighed and stepped out the door. The night air washed over his body with a cool breeze. He untied his hair that was falling out of the ribbon and ran his fingers through it, trying to smooth it out. Then put it back up neatly. He wanted to look good for Elizabeth. Will brushed the soot off his clothes the best he could. When he got nearer the dock he knelt down and washed his face and hands.

When he finally did reached the mansion, he silently prayed that the governor would be out on business, Will felt uncomfortable in his presence. He pulled on his jacket nervously and knocked on the door.

The butler, Mr. Paxton answered. "Ah Mr. Turner, Miss Swann is expecting you."

He said with kind eyes. Will liked this butler much better than the other one, they hired him after the original had got shot form the invading pirates.

Elizabeth had heard the knock and hurriedly came down the stairs and stopped as soon as she saw Will standing there.

"Will!" she announced, a bit too loudly as she made her way the rest of the way down. She threw her arms around him, causing him to loose his balance.

"Oomph! Its good to see you too, love." He said catching her in his arms and regaining his footing.

"You took even longer today, Will." She said sadly, lifting her head off his chest to look in his eyes.

"I know, I'm sorry. But I like I told you before it's a surprise for you."

He said as he touched her face gently, she smiled and pulled him closer. Liz could feel his warm breath on her neck. Her body immediately relaxed and she melted into him. She was broken from her revere by someone clearing they're throat. They quickly separated but still held hands and turned in the direction from which the noise came.

"Well…Mr. Turner, good to see you" the governor said uneasily.

The governor nodded and walked passed them to his study. Elizabeth looked at Will, then followed after her father.

"Father, Will had asked me last night to go to dinner with him and you never gave me your answer on permission." She said with pleading brown eyes.

He paused and looked up from his desk.

"Elizabeth, it is not proper –"

He started but was cut off by his daughter

" Father, we are to be engaged to be married. Sooner or later we will be having dinner together." She said in a more serious and determined tone than an asking or begging one.

The governor looked at his ring on his finger and toyed with it, trying to ignore the comment.

Yes, all right. Be back by eight o' clock" he said with a sigh as he slumped in his large chair.

Elizabeth gave a warm smile and hugged him. When they parted he turned his attention to Will in the doorway, looking a bit uneasy and awkward.

The governor motioned him to come over.

He put his arm around Will's back to pull him closer so he didn't have to speak loudly.

"Once again I put my daughter in your care, I hope that this time she returns more safely and just as innocent."

Will just nodded, knowing what he was insinuating.

"Yes sir, of course." Will said, not sure if he should smile because he had allowed Elizabeth to go or stay sullen because of the subject in which he was referring to.
