Emma had never understood what she was feeling for Killian. Till the day he froze. The desperation and agony that ripped through her was enough to tear anyone's soul in two. It started like any other day. They had saved Storybrooke and were on their way home for a celebratory drink when someone set Elsa off by accident. Emma could see the ice coming straight for her till Killian pushed her away. "KILLIAN! KILLIAN ON!" she yelled as he quickly turned to ice. "DAMMIT ELSA! You need to be careful. You froze him" she said holding his face between her hands. "I told you, you would lose what was most important to you if you got in my way" Hans taunted Emma. "Shut up Hans. No one asked for your opinion. Emma listen...only an act of true love can thaw a frozen heart. When Anna froze I was going to kiss her but she decided to save Elsa, and she unfroze herself" Kristoff told her calmly. Emma looked at him with tears in her eyes and let out a broken sob, "both people have to be aware though. He doesn't know how I feel. IT DOESN'T WORK IF BOTH PEOPLE DON'T KNOW." Emma looked at the frozen statue of Killian and continued sobbing. "Killian..." she whispered. "I love you. You're the best thing to happen to me and I see that now. You're not Neal. You won't leave me. Please come back to me. I need to you Killian." And then she kissed his forehead. When she touched his forehead she could feel the pulse of magic breaking the curse. Killian had come back to her. Just like always. "Emma love...stop crying. Everything gonna be okay. I'm right here love. I love you too and I'll never leave you. You're my True Love, my bright star in the dark sky, my Hope. I love you and I need you too." Emma looked up, smiled and pulled him into a hug. "Please don't ever do that to me again. I can't go through that ever again. And for you Hans...you're under arrest. Elsa you may do what you like with him. Let's go home Killian." Killian intertwined their fingers before answering "Aye love. Let's go."
