yes. we have a future to make, together. and I know I can't build that with my head on a door that's still open.

I know this is difficult, Emma, but I wouldn't have to say goodbye if I weren't committed to the life I want with you.

[sheriffing]

I wish you didn't have to give up your old life to be with me.

[dishearten]

all magic comes with a price. I'll pay this one for a life with you.

at least my absence won't change your story. ( sad, thinking about the fact his disappearance won't change much at all. it's good to know she'll find her parents and break the curse whether he's there or not, but knowing his absence means little is still a bit sad to think about. ) hopefully a chance to say goodbye will make it better.

[sheriffing]

Not that version of me. You'll just have to settle for having changed your wife's life for the better.

[ It's true, his absence won't change much in his world - but it'll change plenty in hers, and she's looking forward to it.]

[dishearten]

I suppose I can be content with that. I do remember something in the vows about making my wife happy, after all.

[sheriffing]

Since when do you remember our vows?

[dishearten]

i remember enough.

( way to kill his lacking attempt at humor, Emma. as always he sort of shuts down at the reminder that they were drunk and incapable on the most important day of their lives. he's already feeling rather low, and now he feels worse. )

i'll see you at home.

[sheriffing]

I hope that memory extends to our anniversary, it's coming up.

[They still have a few months to go, but it's a source of pride to think they've almost made it a year.]

Okay, I love you.
