Chapter 3

Henry is on his way to the docks on this Sunday morning, after a long day Saturday working on his assignment he needed a break, he and Killian where taking the Jolly out for a ride, just the two of them. He had stopped by Granny's to get them both a hot chocolate since the weather was still cool. He was a couple of blocks away when he finds himself bumping into Riley, he was walking with his earbuds from his iPod in his ears, actually they both where "Woah, sorry about that" Henry says after he collides into another body, taking his earbuds out.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry" Riley says looking up, taking her buds out, she looks to find Henry "we just can't seem to stop bumping into each other Mills" she says with a joking smile.

"I guess not" Henry says with smirk "so what are you doing out this early so a Sunday Riley?"

"My foster parents are early risers, so they think everyone else should be too. Not enough of a morning person to deal with that right now. But what about you?"

"On my way to the docks, going for a ride out on the water" Henry says pointing his way towards the docks; they continue to walk while they talk.

"You have a boat or something?"

"No, it's not mine. It's Kilian's, he and my mom where together. He was actually planning to propose to her before it happened."

"Woah, so basically he is your almost step-dad" Henry gives her a nod "it's cool that you still spend time together, you most of been close to him before, well everything."

"Yeah, he really made her happy when all was said and done" they were getting close to the docks "Hey how would you like to come sailing with us?"

"Isn't this supposed to be like just the two of you?" Riley asks.

"Well it's only been the two of us, but it was never officially supposed to be just us" Henry tries to assure her.

At that moment Killian came walking up from the docks "Good morning lad" he spots the to-go cups from Granny's in Henry's hands "I see we had the same idea, I have hot chocolate and donuts inside" that's when he spots Riley "who's your friend Henry?"

"Oh sorry this is Riley, she's still new to town, I thought maybe she could come with us" Henry answers.

"Well nice to meet you Riley" Killian says holding his hand out to the girl.

Riley gives him a smile and offers her hand back "You too."

"If you'd like to join us lass you are more than welcomed too" Killian adds.

"Um... sure, I doubt my foster parents will miss me."

"Henry why don't you take those hot chocolates below deck and grab yourselves a doughnut. Then we can start the day" Killian says giving Henry's shoulder a nudge will they entered the boat.

The teenagers head below deck. "He seems nice" Riley starts as move to the table that held the doughnuts.

"Yeah he is, he's really been there for me. But yeah, he always treated me nicely; I always wondered if it was just cause my mom, but this past year showed me he actually cared."

"That's good" she opens the box, and sees her favorites "alright bear claws, my favorite, I could eat these all day if someone let me."

First hot coco with cinnamon, now bear claws too, either this is just a crazy coincidence or something weird is going on he thought "There pretty good but my favorite" he takes out a cinnamon roll "is cinnamon rolls, gooier the better" he says with smile taking a bite of the sweet treat. Riley laughs and shakes her head, again very Emma like he thinks to himself, it reminded him of when they went to New York with Gold, and he was eating one on the plane. "We should head back up now" he says with a smile, both grabbing a hot chocolate.
