EmmaSwan: Fair enough

ZelenaMills: So, you gonna join Regina and Belle in changing your username?

EmmaSwan: Not yet

ZelenaMills: Oh?

EmmaSwan: I'm emotionally attached to this username

EmmaSwan: Kinda like how Regina was emotionally attached to ReginaOfLocksley so she didn't change it back to ReginaMills even though she could have

ReginaOfLocksley: I don't get emotionally attached to usernames🙄

RobinOfLocksley: You sure?

ReginaOfLocksley: Shut up

EmmaSwan: So Regina, are you still going to call me Swan?

ReginaOfLocksley: Of course

ReginaOfLocksley: You'll always be my Swan❤️

"So, what's up?" Emma asked as soon as Lily sat down across from her. They'd left August and Neal behind at the hotel so they could talk alone.

Lily sighed, "August and I...we..."

Emma had a bad feeling about where this was going, but she kept quiet, allowing Lily to finish.

"We broke up," she whispered.

"What? Lily--"

"Emma, it's okay--"

"It's not okay! What happened?"

"Nothing. We just...decided it was time to end things. We're still friends, we're just not together."

"Lily..."

"Emma, just let it go."

"I can't! Why won't you tell me? Why didn't you tell me?"

"I'm telling you now." Lily stood to leave, but Emma grabbed her arm.

"Please."

Lily shook her head. "I'm sorry." Lily pulled her arm from Emma's grasp and walked out.

Emma pulled out her phone and opened Instagram. She was going to find out what happened between Lily and August, and she was going to find away to reverse it.
