Jack and Angelica stayed up late, sitting by the fire and talking about the past; Angelic actually felt like she meant something to him.
"Do you remember that necklace you had given me Jack?" Angelica asked as she laid her head on his shoulder.
Jack nodded, taking a swig of rum from one of the many bottles he had brought with him. The fact he had brought so much did not surprise Angelica, it was typical of Jack to always be drinking. "The one with the crystal heart?"
"Yea, I still have it."
He looked stunned. "I thought you had gotten rid of it after . . ." he trailed off, taking another drink of his rum.
"After what Jack?" She pushed on. She wanted him to say it, to admit he had betrayed her.
"After I left you," he said.
"Why would I have thrown out the only thing left that I had of you?"
"I don't know Angelica, you seemed kind of pissed."
"I was more heart broken than pissed Jack," she said. She wanted an apology, but she could see now that she wasn't going to get one.
"Then where is it?" He asked as if he didn't believe her, as if he thought she was lying to him.
She stifled a small laugh and pulled something out of her brown pouch.
"The chain is broken, I actually have to admit that I ripped it off of my neck and tried getting rid of it, but I couldn't."
Jack took it from her and examined it. He smiled.
"I was going to throw it into the lake where you had taken me when we first fell in love, but I couldn't let go of it."
"Why not Love?" Jack asked playfully.
"I love you Jack," she confessed.
"Same as I, Angelica."
"I want you to say it Jack," she said, taking his hand and wrapping his arm around her neck.
"I love you Angelica," he whispered. "And I always will."
She took the necklace from his hand, and placed it back into her pouch. "I'm glad that I have you Jack."
Jack tangled his hand in her hair and kissed her cheek. "I have to ask you something Angelica," he whispered.
She smiled. "What is that Darling?"
"Will you marry me?" He asked.
