Summary
Emma Swan never meant to come back.
Ten years after graduating, she returns to a school reunion she almost didn’t attend—only to come face to face with the one person she never quite forgot.
Regina Mills.
What starts as quiet reconnection turns into something neither of them ever allowed themselves to have before. But when the past collides with the present—and the world refuses to let them exist quietly—Emma does what she’s always done best.
She runs.
The difference this time?
Emma isn’t the only one choosing whether to stay.
A story about anxiety, second chances, and choosing to stay—even when it’s hard.

Summary
After running away from what would be her last group home when she was 16, Emma lived on the streets and parks of Boston for four years doing whatever she could to get by.
Thanks to a psychologist doing more than he ever needed to, she finds herself with an apartment and a job. The only favor he asks for in return is for her to try find someone to let in, to find a friend who she can trust, who can provide support as she tries to start her life over.
But what happens when an unlikely woman makes Emma feel things she wasn’t even looking for? And will she ever be able to escape the demons from her past?
