007. personal secrets

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

APHRODITE WALKED DOWN MAIN STREET, alone as she thought that Henry and Emma deserved some alone time together to get to know each other better. After all, with the Mayor butting in their conversation 24/7, they deserved a bit of quiet.

Walking past the clock tower, that had started moving again, she thought that this town was rather nice. It was quiet, for the most part, and she didn't even know it existed until two weeks ago.

Storybrooke, Maine.

What an interesting name. Storybrooke. She wondered who came up with the name for the mysterious town, and why someone would name it bloody Storybrooke out of all names. I mean, it was unique, if you thought of it that way.

Personally, she didn't think that Mayor Mills had named the town. A strong, independent woman wouldn't name a town Storybrooke. It sounded rather silly. No, a child of some sort had to have names this town.

Maybe it was Henry. After all, his current fixation is storybook characters.

Now, her mind began to wonder who was who. Obviously, Henry thought his mother was the Evil Queen, he thought Mary Margert was Snow White, David Nolan was Prince Charming, Archie Hopper was Jiminy Cricket and he thought that Aphrodite was the Goddess of Love.

That made her laugh slightly, the Goddess of Love. If she was a Goddess, why would she be here and not on Olympus? Oh, right. Henry had mentioned that Zeus had placed her in a cove and aged her backwards. Extremely believable.

Suddenly, a voice called out to her, pulling her out of her thought.

"Excuse me?! Ms Hart?"

She whipped around to be met with Archie Hopper and his dog, "Hey, Dr Hopper." She smiled.

"Hey," He smiled. "You're still here."

"Yeah, Emma wanted to stay around for a while, for Henry," She nodded. "How are you doing?"

Archie chuckled, nodding, "I'm doing well, thanks. I wanted to ask you a question, if you don't mind," The blonde nodded. "Well, I was wondering if you wanted a job? Henry told me that you were a relationship therapist and, to keep it short, I don't know what to do with couples. I'm more of a one-to-one kind of therapist."

"Thank you, Dr Hopper-"

"Archie, just Archie."

Aphrodite smiled, "Well, thank you, Archie. But, I don't know. I already have a job, and I'm not even sure how long we're staying in this town."

The smile on the man's face faltered, "Oh, uh, I understand. Just in case you change your mind." He shuffled around in his pocket before he pulled out a his card.
