On the surface, this may seem an odd answer, but the day Jack was nearly executed. Rescuing him was exciting, even though it nearly got us both killed. And I felt great pride at stepping up and defending him, at fighting for what I believed was right - that Jack was a good man who did not deserve to be hanged for his actions. For our actions. Acts of piracy, aye, but acts committed in order to save Elizabeth. And wasn't her life more important than all of their piracy laws combined?
Elizabeth. That was the first time I ever told her my true feelings - that I loved her. It was one of the most frightening things I've ever done, yet at the same time, saying the words was a great relief. And later, when she told me she felt the same, when she told her father it was me she chose to be with - me, a mere blacksmith, nay, a pirate - and not Commodore Norrington... there are no words for the joy I felt at that moment.
Then there was our first kiss... well, it's not proper to discuss such things in public. I'll just say it was lovely, and leave it at that.
