Snow's thoughts on the Emma/mother bonding scene.
It's not until that moment that she realises. Not until that moment as she's carefully placing a row of flowers onto her fully grown daughters head that it fully registers how much she'd missed.
Her daughter is a full grown woman, one she's very proud of but she missed everything: her first steps, first word, first day at school. She even missed her first ball.
But this, this moment right now it's enough. It's enough to know that she can escort her daughter to a ball and know she's happy in the midst all of the crazy.
This is a moment she can treasure and remember.
