The moment the magic went through her, Belle knew.

She was walking behind him, through a forest and down a beaten path. She had no idea who he was, or why she was following him. The only thing she knew was what she had felt when he had grabbed her in his arms and tearfully whispered that he would protect her. She had trusted him, even if she had no idea of who he was. She knew he wouldn't hurt her, and that was enough.

But the moment the magic swept through her, she stepped backward and every memory slammed into her at once. Agreeing to go with Rumplestiltskin, falling into his arms after an attempt to pull the curtains down, breaking his little teacup, falling…

Her eyes flew open as the memories continued to pour over her. "Wait."

"No, no, we're almost there."

The sound of his voice nearly brought her to her knees. He really was there.

"Rumplestiltskin. Wait."

He turned, his brown eyes soft and hopeful.

"I remember. I remember everything." Emotion filled her words as he came closer and closer to her. "I love you."

Then she was in his arms again, and everything was right once more.

"And I love you."

The End.
