Memories washed through you. Everything that you knew about your life was replaced by a life that up until now you wouldn't have known was yours. You saw the lies of a life that you had lived in Storybrooke to see it was all a façade created by the mayor, to keep you all under control. Everyone you knew in Storybrooke, had known you in the Enchanted Forest but not in the same manner. Everyone had been under the same spell, living in a world that wasn't their own, facing problems they had no place to face.

With everything hitting you, the only thing that truly mattered was memories of you husband and daughter. You had seen them in town so many times, but little did you know that they were your family and you were just kept away from them.

Everyone had made their way into the street looking for loved ones who had been living as strangers. Any normal day, seeing all these people reuniting, you would be happy for them, but all you cared about was finding your husband.

Rushing through the crowd, you saw him almost mirroring you, searching the crowd. As soon as you soon him, your eyes lit up and you sprinted towards him, tacking him by surprise as you collided with him, sending both of you flying. You both fell onto the floor, you on top of him. No words were shared at first, you leaning in to press your lips to his in a passionate kiss. When you pulled away, the two of you grinned at each other.

"I have missed you, my love," you smiled fondly.

If you could, you would have been happy to just lie in the street, in the arms of the man you loved and had unknowingly been apart from for so long.

"I tried to find you," he said softly. "I tried so hard, but we weren't meant to be together due to Regina. I must confess that I did look over you, make sure you were okay, but you did not know who I was."

"Do not worry Jefferson," you smiled, kissing him once again. "We are back together that is all that matters."

He nodded his head, wrapping his arms around you.

"I shall never let anything keep us apart again. It was too long without you and it shall never be worth it again."
