The hand that had been resting on his wife's waist tightened slightly at the thought of anyone touching his daughter. Sebastian looked at his daughter's sleeping face. He had sent Heath to find out what had actually happened to his daughter and who was responsible for her state. He hadn't heard from the young pirate just yet but when he did, he was going to burn all those who were responsible to the ground. No deity would be able to save them from his wrath. 

As the series of events that led up to this point replayed in his mind, he was reminded of Marabelle and her new husband. He glanced at his wife as she leaned back against him. The lines around her eyes and mouth had grown more pronounced and yet she was still as beautiful as the day he swept her away many years ago. The idea that someone else woke up to the same face these past couple of years ate away inside of him. He rested his chin on her shoulder, "Will you and Alice come away with me this time?" He asked quietly.

Jack, still reeling from Josephine's confrontation, blindly made his way to the kitchen following the scent of coffee. As he pushed into the kitchen, his mother looked up and regarded him with a pitiful smile. She handed him a cup of coffee, "I'm so sorry to hea--" Jack just shook his head as he took the cup, "I don't want to talk about it right now, Ma." He said before taking a long sip, welcoming the painful burn. Amy patted him on the shoulder, "Breakfast is on the table." She said. 

As she watched him walk to the door of the dining area, she remembered that Elijah was sitting at the table as well. She opened her mouth to tell Jack but he had already gone through. "Oh dear." She mumbled to herself, touching her chin. Perhaps Jack didn't know about his fiancee and Elijah yet. [i]Eli wouldn't say anything...right?[/i]
