‘Emma.’
‘I grew out of stupid fantasies right about his age too. It’ll happen soon, you’ll see.’
‘Emma, calm down,’ said Mary Margaret. ‘He’s just confused, but maybe we should just put our relationship on hold for a while until he’s no longer confused.’
‘NO!’ exclaimed Emma. ‘I’ll fight for this. I’ll fight for you. Even if the enemy is Henry.’
‘Emma. It’s okay. You can stop fighting. I’m not saying that I want to break up, let’s just… be more cautious…’
‘This is not a dirty secret!’
‘…just around Henry,’ finished Mary Margaret.
‘All my life I’ve had people tell me everything that I can’t have,’ said Emma, still tense.
Mary Margaret held out an arm and Emma moved closer, allowing Mary Margaret to hold her close.
‘And I’m telling you it’s okay. You want this and I want this. We want this. It doesn’t matter what anybody else says.’
They stood in silence for a little while.
‘I shouldn’t have yelled at him.’
‘It’s okay. He’ll understand one day.’
