I do not own Once Upon a Time.
So, tiny tiny chapter, it will lead into a giant flashback that will begin to explain everything.
Emma stepped into Tara's office, she had questions about some of the board members. But instead of finding the CEO, Emma found an empty room.
Curious, Emma began to look around. It was very neat. The desk, chair, bookcases and the additional table and chairs all matched. There was a world map on one wall, a few small painting on another one. They were signed: N. Cassidy. Neal must be an artist. Tara had her diplomas hanging up also, grammar school, high school, college. And the tassels to match. No plants were in the office though, maybe Tara didn't have much of a green thumb. The first book case held items from her travels, most Irish pieces from the looks of it. Emma didn't know a lot about Irish culture but she did recognize a shamrock when she saw one. There were also a few trophies and by the looks of it, some Girl Scout memorabilia items. There were a bunch of family pictures on the other bookcase. Tara's parents, her grandparents, Tara and Neal's wedding photo, a newborn Sophia, a very young Liam, Tara and Killian, pictures from her school days Tara was wearing a uniform. And there was a prom picture.
"Can I help you with something?" Tara suddenly appeared next to Emma. She had a habit of sneaking up on people.
Emma took a moment to calm herself. She hated being surprised. "Not many people have pictures of their high school sweetheart at prom next to their wedding picture if it's a different guy."
Tara chuckled, there was a sadness behind it. "He wasn't my high school sweetheart…"
So, who's the guy? What's the story. Tune in next week.
