"You saved me. How" "Well it's quite easy love, you just run at the person that needs

saving, and the rest is pretty easy" "No, I mean, how did you escape?" "I'm a pirate love,

did you think some measly lock could keep me from saving such a beautiful soul?And it's

not only your soul that's beautiful darling." Emma blushed, and felt a smile tugging at the

corners of her mouth. She bit her lip, trying to hide how she felt on the outside, but in the

inside her heart fluttered, and she felt like never had with Neal, protected, cared for,

almost loved. She looked at his face, his stubble, the scar on his right check, his almost

too deep blue eyes, but her eyes got stuck on rosy lips. As the pirate licked his bottom

lip, just inches from her face, Emma drew in a sharp breath. All of these thoughts were

cut off with the thought of just a moment ago, she had locked him up for him to die atop

a beanstalk. She dragged her eyes heavily from his lips up to his twinkling eyes. The

words "I'm sorry" barely left her lips before Hooks met hers. It was a simple kiss, but it

felt like nothing between her and Neal, but that someone actually loved her and wasn't

just using her for their own selfish games. As he pulled away, but breathed two simple

words "Why, Darling". Emma chose her words carefully, knowing they had to be perfect.

"For not trusting you."
