I know that. No matter how much you wanted me, you always want me to want you, too.

I’m smart enough to make you crazy for me. So you would want to keep me.

i know that too

[he knows it, but it's becoming more real as they talk about it. she would have gotten to him earlier than eleanor. which begs the question:]

would you have kept me

Would I have kept you?

If I had you, I would have scratched out the eyes of any girl who looked at you too long. If I had you, in a world where it was you, and me, against the world? I would have done everything to keep you. I would have schemed and plotted and destroyed for you.

Especially since, knowing the asshole of my stepfather, he would kick me out the second I wasn't a good girl.

[that does seem to be the way of fathers for young girls who make their way among pirates.]

we would have run that whole fucking island together and held it

[he can say that because none of this is real. it doesn't matter if that's not true.]

[It would have kept Teach on the island, she thinks, it would have changed everything. It would have made them powerful, the two of them together.]

The two of us? Yes.

The British wouldn't stand a chance, if we knew each other that young. Eleanor wouldn't stand a chance. If you and I could have guided and protected each other.

[he almost mentions jack, but changes his mind. daphne would have gotten to him first in that case, too.]

eleanor could have used someone like you herself

[a female role model, perhaps - someone to tell her to get her shit together that she might have actually listened to.]
