Epilogue:

Emera wandered down the familiar stairs of the Inn. It had been a month and a half since her adventure with Jack and Anamaria and she had seen a handful of other sea towns in that time. Leogane, Port Royal, and Santiago. But Tortuga held a special place in her heart.

"Miss Flint?" The woman behind the main counter asked as Emera came around the corner.

"Aye?" She paused.

"I've a message for you." The woman said with a pleasant smile, "It's from a young Captain who was here about a week ago."

"What is it? What did he say?" Emera's heart leapt within her chest.

"It was very odd." The woman thought for a moment, "He said: The place where we first met."

"Thank you." Emera called over her shoulder as she ran for the door.

The sun-filled town was just as she remembered it, but she hardly had time to take it in as she pelted down the street. She found the alley in no time. And the narrow entrance to the nook was waiting for her. Emera peered inside. How she and Jack had ever fit into such a small space would always be a mystery.

Wedged between two stone bricks in the wall of the nook was a folded piece of paper. She beamed as she carefully pulled it free from where Jack had stuck it. Her hand trembled with the excitement rising in her as she unfolded the paper. He had said that he would send word and tell her all he had found out from the Log Book. And Emera had laid awake countless nights wondering what he had learned and if she really would ever hear from him. Now, her questions were about to be answered.

A sweeping, muddled scrawl covered the inside of the note. She smiled. Jack's handwriting looked just like he did, charming and messy. And it read:

Dearest Emera,

I will be in Nassau within the week (trusting that you get this in a timely manner.) There is a tavern there called the Mermaid's Song that I'm fond of. Its rather fitting, don't you think? Perhaps I shall see you there before very long. I've much to tell you. And I'd like your help with something.

Yours ever,

Captain J. Sparrow.
