Dear Charming,
We arrived safely to this other world. By now, I guess everything we called "home" disappeared. I feel awfully alone and I miss you terribly. I don't hate Regina. I know, I should, but I cannot.
Emma is doing well. We are staying in a homeless shelter but I believe we will be out of this place soon.
I had to lie about my name. When I arrived with Emma, the man that registers the residents asked for my real name. For some reason, he didn't believe that Snow White was my real name, so I had to improvise. There were some papers on the table. One had a picture of a flower and "Mary Kay" was written below it. The other paper looked like a newsletter and said, "Margaret Thatcher escaped injury in an IRA assassination attempt." I told the man, "My name is Mary Margaret." It seemed to convince him.
This world is full of misery. I understand why Regina thought it would be an ideal place for us to suffer. The people are so helpless and lack hope. I feel sorry for them.
But I won't lose hope. I'll land on my feet and I'll raise our baby.
I will find you,
Snow
