She leafed through the pages – all the truth that Jack needed was
there. She left her cabin and made her
way to the tiller.

“Wha’s this?” Jack asked.
“Jus’ go read the bloody thing, Jack.”
“Not ‘till ye tell me wha’ it is, Ana.”
Anamaria pushed Jack away from the tiller and said
only one word. “Important.”
Not feeling up to sailing anyway, Jack returned to
his cabin. He wasn’t stupid, he knew
what the book was, but he didn’t feel like fighting Anamaria about the subject

in his cabin, then sat on the bed. He
tried to occupy his mind, but his eyes kept falling back on the journal.
Jack sighed heavily. “Well, may as well see wha’ she was up to…things can’ get any
worse.” Jack opened the journal and saw

He told me that it was a night of firsts for both of us.
“Oh Christ…”
I '>I am in love with Captain Jack Sparrow – and the mere thought of that
scares me to death.
Tears came to Jack’s eyes, but so did a slight
smile. “She remembered ‘Captain.’”
I think I’ve found my place in life at Jack’s side.

Anamaria smiled faintly. “We’ve already turned around, Jack.”
