"David" Emma said surprised. She did not invite him in.

"Hello, Emma." He ran his fingers through her hair. He felt nervous when she looked at him sternly.

"What are you doing here?" she said, but she already knew the answer.

"Is Mary Margaret here?" he asked eagerly.

"No she's on a date." Her eyes narrowed as he took in the information.

"Still?" he scowled.

"Yes still. Why do you need to talk to her?"

"I saw her tonight…with…"

"Peter. Their dating so it would make sense for her to be with him."

"I didn't…." he softly said and stopped. "Did you know that she and him slept together?"

"Yes I did and I encourage it. It's the best decision Mary Margaret has made lately."

David froze.

"Where's you wife?" Emma straightened.

"She's home."

"Does she know you're here?"

"She knows I went for a walk." David said carefully.

"To Mary Margerets home...at 11:30? Listen David, you shouldn't be here and we both know why you shouldn't be. You should be at home with your you need to leave. Right Now."

"I don't want to be with her." He shook his head.

"Well, I clearly remember you choosing her" Emma put a hand on her hip.

"Mary Margaret told you?" he frowned.

"Of course she did. You hurt her. You broke her, luckily Peter and I are putting back the pieces no the thanks to you."

"You don't understand" David tried to reason.

Emma took a step towards him. " don't understand, David. You have no idea what Mary Margaret went through. You have no idea how happy she was with you and then you….I can't believe a person would do such a thing to Mary Margaret. She is so fragile and nice and wonderful and you…. You need to stay away from her. Do you hear me?"

"This has nothing-

"This has everything to do with me. I'm her friend and I've been there for her when YOU broke her heart. She is on a date with a great guy- a little arrogant but hey no ones perfect, you are a great example of that. I haven't seen her this happy since you and I am not going to let you take that away from her. You made your choice and she's making hers. If you care about her you will stay away from her."

"I do care about her"

"Then let her be happy. Let her go like she let you go. You're not going to make her happy. There was a time that you could've been the one to make her happy but you gave that up. You need to remember that whenever you think about her. Deal with the consequences. But do not even think about ruining Mary Margaret and Peter. If you do, I promise you ,David, I will hunt you down and make you you need to leave before she and Peter get here and see you."

"I see...I'm sorry I disturbed you." David started to turn, his face etched with pain. "You have a nice evening."

"You too." Emma said, clearing her throat.

"I'm going to let her be happy, even it it means I must let go." He gently said and gave her small smile. "Watch out for her for me."

"I will. I'll take down anyone who hurts her. See you around David."

David nodded and walked out. He walked numbly down the street, deep in thought.
