It had been years after Will had become a captain. He traveled with Elizabeth, seeking new adventures - that was until he caught her with Jack Sparrow. His heart was broken, leaving him guarded, no longer trusting others around him. Especially a woman.
You had been captive on his ship so you'd help the pirates find treasure until you became a member of his crew, but instead of putting you to work - Will kept you near him. You'd read maps with him, eat with him, direct the crew with him. Will had to admit it, you managed to sneak your way into his heart. But he wouldn't act on it until he trusted you more.
One night, you were waiting for Will when he comes in with his ex-wife, Elizabeth Swan. Elizabeth glared at you, and made sure to call you his mistress, which was far from the truth. Will's voice peeked up, stepping in front of you
"She's not a mistress."
