Recap:
"We don't want to hurt the Princess and she doesn't want to hurt us." The man said smiling at Emma who lowered her bow
"You're supposed to be dead!" She cried
He chuckled
"Hello to you too Emma" He gave a bow Emma dropped her bow and ran forward throwing her arms around him.
"Graham!" She cried hugging him breathing in his scent pine, earth, and something sweet Emma couldn't name the last time she'd smelled the intoxicating aroma he'd been kissing her in the sheriff's office and then he had died.
"I missed you," she whispered in his ear she was close to tears
"I missed you too," Graham said lifting her off her feet as he hugged her
"Emma!" James and the others arrived Emma groaned Graham set her down and she turned to face her father
"Dad you remember Sheriff Graham don't you?" Emma said James eyes narrowed at the sight of Graham
"Of coarse I do, Huntsman" James nodded to Graham his form of a hello
"Your Majesty" Graham said bowing Oh God kill me now! Emma thought this was awkward with a capital A. A silence filled the air Graham's wolf nudged Emma's hand
"Hey Buddy" Emma smiled scratching the wolf behind the ear
"I missed you too... even though you growled at me." The wolf whined and licked Emma's hand
"It's ok, your forgiven" Emma smiled if wolves could smile Emma swore it would look like the expression on the animal's face.
"Well we better get back to hunting I promised Snow we'd bring back dinner" James said gesturing for them to file out Emma turned to Graham she didn't want to go she had just found him again.
"Emma come on!" James yelled Emma bit her lip
"Go, I'll see you later" Graham said hugging her goodbye
"I don't want to go I just found you again." Emma whispered
"I know"
"Emma!" James yelled
"Go" Graham said placing her hands on either side of his face Emma crashed their lips together is a sweet kiss that lasted maybe a second longer then it should have in a final goodbye Emma raced out of the clearing gathering her bow as she went and joined the hunting party James gave her a stern look before riding on.
They returned to the palace with two rabbits and a deer changing out of her hunting clothes Emma thought about Graham until she was called for dinner.
"So I heard you saw Graham today" Snow said taking a bite of her venison and giving Emma a knowing look
"Graham's alive?" Henry cried excitedly Emma blushed
"Yes Graham's alive," she said
"And?" Henry pressed
"And what?" Emma asked
"Did he kiss you again!"
"Again?" it was James who spoke
"Yeah, me and Graham kissed before he died" Emma said James frowned
"Where was I during all this?"
"You were still married to Abigail" Henry said
"No Henry he didn't kiss me again" Emma told her son it wasn't a complete lie she'd kissed Graham after all.
"Good because I would have kick his-"
"You say ass and I swear kid you'll be in a world of trouble" Henry didn't finished his sentence and dinner carried on.
Later that night Emma woke up to something hitting her floor getting up she saw several pebbles hand been thrown through her window. Sticking her head out the window she saw Graham on the ground below smiling Emma watched him climb up a trellis of roses to her window before she pulled him in
"Hey stranger" she giggled feeling his arms wrap around her waist.
"Emma" he whispered into her hair sending chills down her spine
"Graham I'm so happy you're alive" she said burying her face into his chest. And she was she loved Graham she felt him smile against her blonde curls
"I woke up calling your name I was heart broken when you were gone." He admitted Emma's green eyes connected with his moonlight illuminating her face
"Really?" he nodded
"I was terrified Emma one minute you were leaning in to kiss me the next I wake up in the woods alone it was a shock" Emma smiled softly before stretching up to kiss him his soft lips found hers in a moment they kissed for a moment before Emma pulled back
"Promise me you won't leave again" Emma whispered leaning her forehead against his
"I promise" Graham whispered before kissing her again.
