Emma and Hook have been walking for about 5 minutes and 34 seconds now.
"Where are we going?" Emma asked for 3rd time.
"If I told you it wouldn't been fun now would it? "
Emma was about to roll her eyes when she suddenly bumped her nose on Hooks back. "Ow"
"We're here"
Before Emma could ask again, she realized that they were standing in front of a cottage. Hook opened the door and looked inside. It looked like no one has been here to years. Without saying anything Hook walked over to one of the drawers and pulled out a long thing of cloth. He threw it at her, "Put it on"
When she unfolded it she realized it was a long dress and a corset.
"No"
"Well you can't be walkin around in a leather coat and pants. That's not How women are dressed here"
Before she could argue, "I hope you can do it on your own" and walked out the door.
He waited for her to walk out of the door... He waited for 5 minutes now and she still hasn't followed him out.
"I'M sure you look dashing, now will you please hurry?"
"I don't know how corsets work!"
"I could help"
"No!"
"..."
"..."
"Fine"
He walked in and saw that she got all the strings wrong in the back.
Emma held her hair up and waited as Hook started to undo the strings on her corset. He put the strings into the holes with his hand.
"You've done this before?"
"Once"
"Girlfriend?"
"Yes"
"Did she dump you?"
"No..she passed away"
"Oh...I'm sorry"
"So am I"
He got to the bottom on the corset and grabbed both strings with his hand and pulled to make it tight enough.
"I can tie it myself"
"Just because I have one hand doesn't mean I can't tie a knot. Okay..done"
She turned around and walked towards the mirror and looked at her back.
"Huh. Nice. Thanks"
She looked at Hook to give him a thankful look. But he looked distracted, he was staring at the room as if bring back memories.
"You okay?"
"Yeah" not changing his stern expression. "Let's go"
She followed him out. "So where to?"
She noticed that he had stopped, she looked over his shoulder to see what he was looking at. There was a large stone with a name carved into but it was so old that the name has almost disappeared. Emma looked down at her dress and put 1 and 1 together.
"This is his girlfriends home" she thought to herself.
"How did she... you know." Emma asked.
"She was murdered...by her own husband."
Her eyes grew wider. "..who was her husband?"
"Rumplestiltskin"
"You mean Gold?!"
They were walking away from the cottage now. "In your world yes"
She wanted to ask why he killed his own wife but shut her mouth seeing Hook's expression.
She wanted to ask more questions but she stopped herself. He sighed "She was unhappy with her life with Rumple, she didn't want to be a stay at home mum, she wanted to explore. She had..the spark in her eyes whenever the word "adventure" was mentioned. And I will admit, allowing her to abandon her child was hard for me to swallow...but..I fell for her"
She looked at him and said "Well..at least she was happy"
Suddenly they heard a ringing, it was coming from Emma's pile of clothes.
"What is that?" Hook asked
Emma went through her piles of clothes and dug her hand into the pocket of her red leather jacket. The ringing was coming from the pocket mirror that Regina was trying to charm.
She opened up the mirror with shaking hands. When she opened it, she saw Regina's face.
"Regina! Is Henry okay?"
"He's recovering, he got injured on the way back"
"What happened to-"
"Pan? Still in Neverland"
"...wait, you said "on the way back", Regina where are you?"
"Storybrooke
