"Tessa! Tessa!" Graham hurried down the sidewalk after her. She turned around as he caught up to her.

"I can smell the alcohol coming off you." She told him.

"Look, about what you know-."

"About you being with my mother? Yeah, what about it?" She snapped.

"I'm sorry you had to find out that way… Or at all." He told her.

"Well, I did. Bye now." She hurried across the street and into Granny's Diner before he could stop her. She walked over to Ruby.

"Best friend emergency." She told her. Ruby grinned.

"One best friend ice cream special coming up!"

Tessa picked at her ice cream, sitting at the counter, and Ruby stood on the other side of the counter. Tessa had explained the whole dramatic situation.

"You know, I can help you bury the body… as long as it doesn't mess up my boots." Ruby told her. Tessa laughed.

"Thanks. I'll give you a call if I need to take you up on that."

"Good." Ruby walked around the counter to give Tessa a hug.

"And I thought my life with Granny was dramatic." She mumbled. Tessa rested her head on Ruby's shoulder.

"I think we both know I've always had a flair for the dramatics, Rue."

"True…"

The next day, there was a knock on the door. Tessa was halfway down the stairs when Henry opened it to reveal Sheriff Graham.

"Mom's not here." She told him none too kindly.

"Uh… Actually, I'm here to see Henry… I was hoping you could help me." He said the last part to Henry rather than to Tessa.

"Help you with what?" Henry asked suspiciously.

"It's about your book… Am I in it?"

Henry, Tessa and Graham sat in Henry's room, looking down at the book in Henry's lap.

"When did your flashes begin?" Henry asked.

"Right after I kissed Emma." He admitted. Tessa smacked him on the arm, hard enough it made her own hand sting.

"You kissed my mom?" Henry asked.

"He's kissed both our moms!" Tessa told him, shooting a death look at Graham.

"What did you see?" Henry asked to change the subject, obviously not wanting to get involved in any of the drama.

"A wolf… I saw that I had a knife and I was with Mary Margaret." He explained.

"Were you about to hurt her?"

"Yes! How did you know?"

"Because Mary Margaret is Snow White. Which makes you the Huntsman."

"So you really think I could be another person?"

"Makes total sense. You were raised by wolves. That's why you keep seeing one. It's your friend, your guide. It's trying to help you."

"I'm remembering because I kissed your mother? H-how is that possible?"

"Well, you two have a special connection. She owes you her life."

"How?"

"Snow White's her mother. And you spared her. If you hadn't, my mom wouldn't have been born."

"W-what happened after I spared Snow White?" Graham asked it hesitantly, like he didn't really want to know the answer.

"The Queen took your heart. She ripped it out. It's kind of her thing. She never wanted you to feel again." Henry explained.

"Let me see your book." Graham took the book from Henry and flipped through the pages. He got to a page with the Evil Queen standing in front of her vault.

"What's that? I saw that too. The wolf was howling at it."

"That's her vault. That's where she put your heart." Henry told him.

"The wolf wants me to find it. Thank you, Henry." He handed back the book and ran out of the room. Tessa got up and ran after him, catching up with him at the front door.

"I'll come with you." She offered.

"No… No… I'll do this. Thank you." He told her sincerely. Out of habit rather than anything else, he hugged her and then ran out of the house.

Later that night, Tessa poked her head into Henry's room.

"Hey, I'm going to the Sheriff's office, see if Graham got his heart back…" She said, realizing after she'd said the words out loud how weird they were. Henry was still studying his book.

"Okay." He mumbled. She turned and left, grabbing her jacket on her way out the front door.

As Tessa stepped into the sheriff's office, she saw Emma and Graham together, about to kiss each other.

"Dude, pick a girl." She told him to purposely interrupt them. Graham laughed, stepping away from Emma, who was looking annoyed at the interruption.

"Any luck?" Tessa asked, going over to stand beside him.

"I remember everything." He told her.

"Everything, huh? Well, it's more than I got. Although, if I step out of town I'll get a memory and what feels oddly like a hangover." Tessa told him. He chuckled again and even Emma smiled over at the younger girl. Suddenly Graham's smile turned into a frown. Then he doubled over in pain and fell to the ground. At once, Emma and Tessa ran over to him as he fell unconscious.

"Graham! Graham!" They shouted his name over and over again, shaking him, trying to wake him up. Emma started sobbing as she realized he was dead. Tessa slowly came to the same realization.

"Graham…"
