Chapter 2
Everybody was having fun celebrating once again getting over a dangerous adventure. Snow and Charming were looking at their daughter who has been staring at the door for an hour. Hook interrupted Emma saying " I guess you are waiting for your true love to come but there is something that you don't know about him he doesn't like humans. Do you know that his best friend is wolf?" Emma couldn't bare this nonsense anymore. She needed fresh air, she wanted to be alone. She was angry at Graham for not coming. She tried to figure why he didn't come but couldn't find any reason. And as she got out she saw a man sitting on the pavement. It was Graham. Why didn't he come inside she wondered. He was extremely handsome in a suit. She never saw him like this before without his jacket. She got closer to him and asked" Graham what are you doing here, why aren't you coming?" Graham hesitated for a minute, trying to find a reasonable explanation. He said " I was running away from you" then he stopped looked at her to see her reaction. Emma looked confused, this answer was the last thing she had ever expected to hear. He continued " I shouldn't have said that I love you, I guess you heard a lot of love confessions these days. I'm sorry for making your life more complicated. I can never love you as much as Neal or Hook." He stops for a minute chuckles then says " I don't have a heart. I've been like this as long as I can remember I don't even know what love is. I don't deserve you." Emma was listening to Graham trying to understand why he is telling all of these. The last thing she would do is to question his love for her. The things he said didn't make any sense. Emma stood up looking tensed she said " How can you think that you wouldn't deserve me because you don't have a heart. I don't care who loves me more. Love is immeasurable. You are the most sensible, most emotional man I've ever met. I never really believed that you are heartless. You are different. I realize it the very first moment I met you." She stopped , couldn't hold her tears anymore. She was crying but she didn't finish what she was going to say. She continued saying "Do you see this shoelace? (showing her wrist) That's from your boots. I wear it since the day you died in my arms and I didn't take it off since then. You don't have any idea how much you mean to me. You are not the one to decide whatever you deserve me or not. So instead of freezing here why don't we go inside." Graham was looking at her being regretful about what he said. He couldn't say anything he just smiled and followed her inside. She was right he never realized how much he means to her. He was so touched. He was happy.
