The sun was beginning to set over the Caribbean, painting the ocean gold as Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann stepped onto a small, quiet island far from the noise of pirates, ships, and danger. For one day, they had no enemies to fight. No cursed ships. No duties. Just each other. Will knew the day would end too soon.

She would leave the pirate life behind. She would build a home. And she would raise their child, waiting for the day Will could finally return.
