James was less than pleased that Emma had allowed Robin Hood inside the palace, for although he was an enemy of the Evil Queen (as were most the occupants of the Enchanted Forest) Robin Hood had a bad reputation in James's kingdom as well as King Richard's. (Do to stealing food from some villages many years ago.) But Emma was able to convince him to knight Robin Hood so he could prove his worth. It was a sunny morning shortly after August (as Emma still called him in private) was knighted when Emma and August were having a shooting competition. Emma's bow twanged as she drove an arrow expertly into the dummy's chest

"Whoa." August said Emma smirked

"Think you can do better?" Emma asked

"No one can do better than Emma Swan." Graham laughed stepping out from behind the dummy

"Graham!" Emma launched herself into his arms

"What would your father say if he could see you now?" August laughed

"Shut up August let me have my moment!" Emma snapped Graham laughed before capturing her lips.

"I've missed you this week," Emma whispered against his lips

"You know I should really report this to your father." August said

"But you won't." Emma said

"Oh yeah? What's stopping me princess?" August laughed

"It's called chivalry you moron you know that thing your bound by." Emma said rolling her eyes Graham frowned

"May I have a word alone with you?" He asked

"Sure" she Said as Graham led her into the woods finally they stopped

"You didn't tell your father about us?" He asked

"He just woke up I don't want to compromise his health!" Emma defended herself

"The longer you wait the harder it's going to be! Are you ashamed of me Emma?"

"What! No! Graham I'm not ashamed just cautious."

"Emma I trusted you to tell your parents!"

"And you can still trust me!" Emma panicked where was he going with this?

"No I can't... I can't be with someone who lies, you lied to me Emma."

"I didn't lie!" Emma panicked she need him to understand to tell her it was ok and he still loved her.

"Goodbye your Highness." Graham said bowing before walking away Emma felt liked she'd been punched in the gut.

"Graham!" She yelled after him

"Graham please don't go! I love you!" Emma begged but he was already gone. Tears streamed down Emma's face she couldn't lose Graham not again!

"Graham!" Emma jogged after him

"Graham!" The deeper Emma wandered the darker the sky got.
