    Summary

    Ten years has passed since the harrowing events that lead to the opera house burning to the ground and Regina perishing in the flames. Ten years is a long time, and Emma, now an adult woman living in Boston, is okay. Or so she keeps telling herself. She's okay. Except for when the grief overcomes her and the memories piles up in her head.
    Most of the time, though. Most of the time, she's able to power through and live her life while claiming that she has put the past behind her.

    But she hasn't. Grief changed her for good and it doesn't take much to send her spiraling. Keeping her life on track is hard when Paris suddenly calls her back again. What awaits there? More grief? More heartache? Or perhaps the impossible truth of what really happened ten years ago....
