So sorry to keep everyone waiting for this chapter! You may want to reread the last one cause of the time gap... hehe... oops.

Long A/N at the end lol, just me ranting about season 7 being approved...  you can read my freakout when you get to it.

Enjoy!

Emma sat in a hotel room, refusing to let the tears behind her eyes fall. 

She paced.

She threw things.

She screamed.

She broke pencils.

None of it seemed to help much.

She just wanted to Killian to be happy, with or without her, but she had to give him the chance to make up his mind. She loved him, with all her heart, and she wanted nothing more than to spend the rest of her days with him, but she had to give him space.

The worst part was, it really did hurt her.

He'd kissed another woman. 

And it killed her inside. 

She knew he didn't love Carter... but it still hurt like hell.

She sat on the bed, the empty space on her hand where her promise ring used to go pushing her over the edge, forcing her tears out of her eyes. 

She massaged her finger, a tiny imprint from the ring still there.

"Please pick me," she whispered out loud, allowing her tears to fall freely.

Killian, meanwhile, was raging, angrily trying to figure out how to convince Emma he wanted her and only her.

And then it came to him.

He'd planned on proposing to her when he went back home... why not now? Why not show her just how much she meant to him? Show her that she was his one and only? 

That was exactly what he was going to do. He had the ring, all he had to do was find her and pop the question.

But there was the problem. He had to find her. 

Where the bloody hell could she possibly be in Venice? She couldn't have gone far... 

He assumed she'd be staying at a hotel.

So it was settled. He'd check every room of every hotel until he found her. And then he would ask her. He would ask her and show her just how much he loved her. 

That is... if she didn't leave the country before he got the chance. He had to find her.

"Damn it, Swan. If only I could summon you," he muttered, taking a taxi to the closest hotel to start his search. 

Carter was furious. How could Killian possibly pick that piece of trash over her?! 

No, stop it, Lana, she scolded herself. If you really care about Killian, just help him find his happiness. 

She sighed, reluctantly pulling out her phone and dialing Killian's number. 

Killian felt his phone vibrate, answering right away without checking the number, in hopes that it may be Emma.

"Hello?" he answered.

"Hey..." Carter's guilty voice came from the other end.

"What do you  want?" Killian asked accusingly. 

"Look... I'm sorry, okay? I should never have downgraded what Emma is to you and I had no right to move in on you... I screwed up bad. It's just kinda hard around you. You're such a great guy. I can see why Emma loves you so much. I get it if you can't forgive me, but at least let me help you find her and get her back," Carter said quickly before Killian could interrupt her.
