She can’t explain to the others why she needs to save Lily.
Can’t explain that first tentative kiss, after so long sitting on the couch with their fingers entwined. Figuring out how to not bump noses or drool on each other. What it was like to reach out and tuck Lily’s hair behind her ear, that little frightening thrill of touching another person like that for the first time.
The words first love sound so trite, the fairy tales that Emma was never meant for. They lack the uncertainty of this world.
But the words first betrayal are not enough.
