Belles POV

The sheriff's station. I'd never been in here before, not that I'm complaining.
Anxiously, I pulled open the stiff door and let myself in.

"Sheriff Swan?"
I say knocking on the open office door.

"Oh hey Belle? please, it's Emma," she said looking up at me, surprised it was me.
"Okay, Emma..." I smiled.
"Please, take a seat, how can I help?"
"Thanks, um...I was wondering if...if you'd spoken to Rumple at all?" I say sliding into the brown leather chair opposite her desk.
Emma looked nervous, willing me to go on so she didn't have to answer the question.
"Well, yes.... Gold did come and see me," she said awkwardly, shifting in her seat.

So there is something. If he came to Emma then it must be serious. But why won't he tell me?!
Before I could ask my next question, Emma cut in,
"I'm sorry Belle, he told me not to tell, uh... anyone, and being the sheriff I shouldn't really give you out other clients information..." She said giving me a sympathetic smile.
"Oh of course, I just...I need some answers..." I say feeling stupid, wiping my cheeks with my cardigan sleeve.
"I wish I could tell you Belle, but I can't."
She did look sorry.
"I understand, thank you Emma," I say getting up.
"I'm sure he will tell you soon enough, he loves you," she smiled.
"Right, thanks again," I say walking down the long corridor towards the door.

So there is something going on. Something going on that he's not telling me.
It's obvious that he told Emma not to tell me as she stuttered when she told me he asked her not to tell anyone..

Why are you shutting me out Rumple?
Why...
