After spending the last evening digging through files Regina had brought me for our new case, I strumbled into bed like the dead.

I actually slept so deep and calm.. I was worried about myself. Maybe my body choose to do this so I wouldn't spend hours thinking about every possible way for me to mess the breakfast with Killian up.

I just didn't have the time to think about it because I was passed out, but.. that all changed this morning.

My eyes fluttered open and I realized it would only be a matter of time until I would see him at Grannys. I was completely sure that he would come to see me there. I didn't even question it. I just knew.

But anyhow.. my stomach started to growl.. not because I was hungry.. well that,too... but because I was getting more anxious with every passing minute.

I won't tell him.

I can't.

But then again.. If I don't tell him - what if he thinks I don't want him or I was just playing with him..?

He had been just as insecure as I was yesterday.. I didn't want to break his heart.

The opposite. I wanted us to.. fix our broken pieces for each other. To heal each other.

But.. I already could see myself standing in front of him.. captivated by his smile and those eyes.. and probably the eyebrow again.

It's always the eyebrow. I grinned automatically and as I realized what I was doing I burried my face deeper into the cushion. I let out a loud, frustrated sigh.

BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. BEEEEEP... -

I answered my phone without looking, my face still burried in the cushions. "Emma Swan, hello?"

"I am sure, you're already dressed AND mentally prepared to meet him at the diner?" My mother told me in a sarcastic voice, knowing I was still in bed.

"Uh, Mum, I guess.. I am.. not feeling alright.. probably.. the flu or something even more deadly.. I..I have to stay home, I won't go." I mumbled and turned onto my back, face-palming over my oh-so-good ability to lie to anybody.

Detecting lies and lying yourself were apparently two completely different qualities..

"Ohhhh No young lady! You are going to swing your oh-so-sick body out of your comfort zone and get the hell over to this diner! Promptly!"

I was taken aback by the choice of words and my mums tone.. This did not sound like the sweet, fragile woman I knew..

"Uh, Mum I don't really think this is any of your-"

But she cut me off, slight range noticable as she spoke again. "Ah-uh Emma. This sure is of my concern because I am concerned about YOU and I intend to give you the final kick in the right direction."

I sighed and rolled over in bed staring at the ceiling. She was right I needed a literal "kick in the ass" before I would gather any courage to go to Granny's at all..

"Emma, don't you realize that.. He might be or.. Yeah he IS your first serious shot at a happy end? Do not throw away your shot.. He could - or telling from my judgement - He will be worth it. Just you wait and see.."
