Josephine was pale as Jack explained the best he could the state Alice was in. When Marabelle came out of the room, Jack stood immediately. He went into the room without another word. Josephine looked at Marabelle. The other woman's face was haggared, looking as though she aged several years. Josephine got up and poured her a cup of tea from the pot Amy put out. "How is she doing?" She asked quietly as she handed it to her.

Jack took a sharp intake of breath when he saw the bruises and scrapes on Alice's swollen face. He sat in the chair that was beside her bedside and took her hand in his, holding it. He kissed the back of her hand gently, "I'm sorry." He murmured. If he hadn't pushed her away in the carriage, then maybe he could have prevented her from getting arrested. He let out a breath and brushed some hair from her face.

Just then, Sebastian had arrived, the ship's doctor behind him. The doctor let out a breath before walking to the bedside. "Give me a couple moments." He said to Jack and Sebastian. The captain nodded and stepped out to the living room but Jack stayed in the room, only stepping to the side to give the doctor his space.
