Later that day

Kenzie decided to head back to the library she had passed earlier while she had been exploring her new surroundings. She almost skipped all the way there, eager to rummage through all the books to find some unique underrated tale. Sometime later she arrived at the clock tower library and came to a stop glancing up at it in astonishment. Such a great way to make use of a building, she thought. Not only did it serve as a place to go for books but also to tell the time, although a huge outdoor clock wasn't necessary in this day and age as most if not all, people had some form of technology to keep track of the time. But back in the day, this would have been great and it still served some purpose as people still loved to read.

After looking she pushed open the doors with eager force and entered. The door swung close behind her

"Hello, " spoke a woman with brown hair, once she entered. The librarian sat behind the front desk as she looked up from her book.

"Hi, " Kenzie replied, wondering how her face was familiar. Maybe, she had passed her in the street or bumped into her in one of the town shops, during her short time there. That was highly likely as that was the case with small towns.

"Are you just passing through?" she asked Kenzie.

"Actually, visiting, " reported Kenzie, a little confused. How could she have seen the woman around she had not seen her? Anyway, she added, " I've been here a few days now. I've been renting out a room at Granny's."

"Oh, yeah now that you mention it I think I've seen you about town. Forgive me, " apologised the woman and paused for a moment, and then continued. "I haven't been feeling my self the past few days, " she explained although Kenzie wasn't entirely sure what she meant.

However, Kenzie measured her, "it's ok."

"Anyway, feel free to look around and if you need anything just ask me, " the woman offered with a smile.

Sure, " Kenzie said and the woman returned to reading her book.

Kenzie walked towards the shelves and glanced at the signs as she went, coming to a stop near the fiction section. She began to skim read the spines and picking out any books with titles that stood out to her.

After doing that and reading the blurbs on the back covers and little snippets inside, she found a book. So she took it back to the desk. "Could I please borrow this book, please? "

Kenzie had then given her details and the woman wrote them down. "It was nice meeting you by the way, " she said as she handed the book back over to Kenzie.

"You too, " she replied taking the book from her.

Even later that day

Back at Granny's dinner, Kenzie was perched on a chair near the counter sipping her coffee and reading her book. She takes a moment to glance up, just as she hears the dinner door open and in walks the librarian women from earlier with Gold. Kenzie couldn't help but ponder what such a nice woman was doing with a man like him.

"Oh, hi, " beamed the woman after he eyes fell on Kenzie. She walked over and pointed out, "wait I didn't catch your name before."

"It's Callie, " answered Kenzie growing tired of her lie. It was growing tiresome keeping up the fake name but she wasn't ready to trust anyone enough in this town yet.

"I'm Belle, " The woman said. Belle from Beauty and The Beast wondered Kenzie.

"Nice to see you again Belle, " Kenzie stated.

"Likewise, " she said. "How's that book?"

"It's great so far. I haven't gotten around to reading much of it yet, " Kenzie replied.

"Well when you finish it, will you let me know if it is any good because if it is I might give it a read myself?" Belle asked.

"Sure," Kenzie said.

"Thanks, " she said and then went to go sit down with Gold.

Kenzie finished her Coffee and decided to walk around the block before returning back to her room when she bumped into Emma. "Hey, " Emma said when she saw her.

"Hi, Emma, " replied Kenzie. "How are you?"

"Fine. A little stressed. Trying to keep Regina from killing Snow White, but other than that I'm fine," she replied.

"Yeah, " sighed Kenzie. "How is she anyway?"

"Still feeling down about what she did," answered Emma and then after a short pause, she added, "oh, yeah that reminds me. David thought that maybe if she had a night out with friends it might help to make her feel a little better. Take her mind off things. And I know you've just met her and all of us, but I know she has already started to like you. And thinks of you as a friend, so if you wanna come you are more than welcome. I understand if you don't want to though."

Kenzie had told herself that she wanted to know more about this town and that she wanted to fit in not just feel like that maybe she could, and what better way to do that than to make friends, so she found herself saying, "sure I'd love to."

"Great. We are meeting at the bar, The Rabbit Hole, at 8pm if me and David can manage to get her out, " Emma said.

"Ok, I'll be there, " Kenzie told her.

"Ok well I'll see you later then."

"Yeah, see you later, " Kenzie said back and Emma left.

7:30 pm arrived and Kenzie was just finishing getting ready. She glanced in the bathroom mirror checking out her outfit, hoping she had dressed appropriately for a night out at the bar. Kenzie hadn't been out to one before because she hadn't had any friends to go out with and she never fancied going on her own. What was the point? She wanted someone to go out and have fun with, not sat all by herself.

Anyway, she let out a sigh and turned from the mirror and headed out of the bathroom. On the way out of her room she grabbed a jacket and purse. Then locked the door before heading towards the bar. She hoped she remembered where it was from her exploring.

After several minutes she managed to find it at precisely 8pm, so she stopped outside and looked around for Emma and Snow but they weren't there. Did they manage to get her to come out? She wondered and then thought maybe they were already inside and even if they weren't she could wait, so she walked inside.
