Norrington looked down at his new work. 'It's perfect.' He thought.

He sat down in the midst of all his poetry and other works. But something was missing. 'Elizabeth. She is the only thing that can make me feel complete. Make me whole again. Hmm...maybe if I can't have her as my love, yet, I can have her as a very close friend. At least then I would get to see her more. I know! I'll invite her to dinner. Just a casual dinner to her, but a long awaited treat to me.'

"I shall send a letter at once."

-----Will and Liz's POV 2 days later-----

After a long and tiring day of preparing, Elizabeth came home exhausted. Her arms were full with food, a keg of water and other needed items. As she was turning the corner onto Royal Court, on which her and Will's house was, she suddenly saw a flash of navy blue and felt a very large bump.

"O! Elizabeth! I'm terribley sorry. I'm afraid I wasn't looking where I was going. My dear, let me help you..."

Elizabeth was sprawled on the ground surrounded by the supplies she had bought.he looked up, a bit surprised already, and got a gentle pang of shock. "O...hello Commodore."

She took his outstretched hand and felt him shiver slightly as he pulled her up to her feet.

"Thank you Commodore."

He smiled at her almost too excitedly and said "Call me James, my dear."

She smiled nervously back. "Thank you, James."

"Let me help you with your things" He bent down and began gathering things up that were scattered on the ground. After everything was picked up an awkward silence I, then:

"Did you get my letter?"

"I'm sorry I don't think I have. But then again I haven't been home all day. May I inquire as to why you were I to me?"

"Well Elizabeth, I've been thinking and one of my thoughts has been about our fr-friendship." He could barely bring himself to say the word for he longed so badly to say something more than that. But he went on. "It seems that, ever since last summer, after Sparrow escaped again–"

"O are you still searching for him?"

He was a little astounded for being interrupted but didn't want to ruin his chances so he answered.

"Yes, indeed we are still searching for him but my men feel they have an idea as to where he is."

"That's good...o! I'm sorry! Please go on."

"Thank you...after Sparrow escaped again, it seems that things have been rather awkward between us. Do you know what I mean?"

"Yes...I've thought that too. Ever since Will and I have been together, we've been rather distant from each other."

Struggling to keep his composure he thought, 'She had to mention the stupid bloiter...'

"Yes well, it's been rather hard on me seeing that I have no one but me to turn to, I thought maybe we could have dinner, as friends, to.. catch up on things."

He sounded perhaps too enthusiastic when saying this for his smile looked rather demon-like. For a moment, Elizabeth was at a loss for words. Norrington's over-enthusiastic smile was a bit frightning. The thought also I to her that this man was once her fiancé, who just asked her to dinner-as friends. She had no way of knowing exactly what he was thinking but she knew that no man simply wanted to be friends with a woman who was once his fiancé. She stared into his eyes and saw suffering contrasting his smiling face.

'No man, no matter what rank in command, suffers that much from a missing convict and Port Royal is too small a town to have any major problems to get barely annoyed over. This man is suffering from loneliness, which I've caused. And a man that desperate is not a very sane one. This is not the man I once new. The old Commodore would never go to drastic measures such as sending a letter of invitation and then stalking around their house waiting for that person to receive it. No this man is no longer very sane...'

"I am disinclined to aquiest to your request, Commo- ahem, James, but Will and I are very busy and shall be for sometime, I'm afraid."

Norrington hung his head. "I understand...that's quite alright...well..good evening then..."

"Good evening, James." Elizabeth turned to walk up the steps to her home when Norrington spoke again.

"Um..Elizabeth..I'm curious. What are you so busy with?"

'Stupid bloke! He's not supposed to ask that!'

"Er-well, Will and I have some plans for –er- a party."

"A party? But what ever for?"

She managed a nervous laugh. "O, James. Trying to spoil the fun are we? It's a surprise." She laughed again and shook her head as though it was a real funny joke. "O..right." he laughed as well. "Ta then!"

"Good bye, James." She turned and walked up the steps to the house. She knew it was a very poor lie but then, who can lie perfectly on the spot like that?

-----Norrington's POV-----

'How dare she turn down my invitation!' He had been "walking by" the house to check up on his letter when he had bumped into her. 'Then she tries to cover herself by saying she was busy with a surprise party? Well, what do they have to celebrate that's surprising? She will pay for this. No one ever turns me down. I never should have let her get away with marrying Turner in the first place. But she will pay for it. That bloody Will is the cause for all of this. He was clearly meddling with piracy and I wouldn't be at all surprised if he was one already. How did Elizabeth end up with him? It's an outrage! But she will pay. No matter what it takes. No one turns down James Norrington. I will make her love me and if she doesn't, she will suffer, like I have, but worse, much worse.'

-----Will and Elizabeth's POV-----

Elizabeth told Will about Norrington's invitation the moment he got home.

"I'm just glad we're leaving tonight.'' He said after she had finished. "Just think, in seven hours, we won't have to deal with him or anything else again."

Elizabeth and Will spent the rest of their last afternoon home putting all of their food and supplies into giant sacks, taking their time and trying to keep their nerves as calm as possible. At around five-o-clock, there was a knock on the door.

"A letter and a visitor all in one day? Wow! We're popular!" Will went to the door while Elizabeth finished tying the last sacks closed. But before she could finish Will came bolting back into the room.

"Will? What is it? What's the matter?" He bustled around for his jacket and pulled Elizabeth to her feet. "Your father- your father has-"

Just then Gillette walked into the room. "He's been murdered."
