Will sat, staring blankly, in one of Port Royal's pubs. When he arrived, sober, he had tried to imagine every possible way that he could have misinterpreted Elizabeth's earlier actions on the beach. As he'd had progressively more to drink, however, the only thing that stuck out in his mind was that this was the second time he'd seen the woman who would be his wife kissing another man, a pirate no less, and the man responsible for, at least in part, the demise of his father. It would hurt less if he had found her with Norrington. At least he had some rank and worth. One good thing, the pain was relegated to a dull sting with the alcohol.
How would he ever confront her about this? He couldn't very well go up to her and say Hello Elizabeth. Lovely day, isn't it? Say, I was spying on you in what I thought was our little cove, bussing the man who's responsible for my father's death and, conveniently, you swore you had no feelings for. How's that?
He didn't want to lose her. That was he feared most. He'd never imagined his life without her. She'd been his one constant since the moment he'd been pulled from the sea and woke at her feet. Jack hadn't even known her that long! It wasn't fair that she should melt under his touch and turn to ice at Will's.
Will suddenly felt quite a few pairs of eyes on him. Looking down, he realized he'd slammed his fist against the bar in his frustration. He sighed. Now he was turning into Master Brown. Perhaps, he'd also loved and lost.
Lost.
Will straightened up. He hadn't lost yet. If Jack was going to play hard and loose with the rules, then so would he. After all, wasn't all fair in love and war?
