there is. if I needed time, I'm not sure why it didn't occur to me that you might, too.
( he can give her that. it's fair to be upset that he made the decision without her, though it's more that he thought she alreadg realized exactly what going with her would entail. what his trip back meant; saying his goodbyes and leaving his own reality behind for the chance at one with her. )
I thought he'd go back when we went home. Not while we're here and he could be with us.
[ She thinks about their versions of Storybrooke having the same people in it, not the adjustment he's going to have to make or what this means for Brother. Suddenly, it's not as easy as she thought it would be.]
it might not make sense, but I feel as if until I can't look toward the future with one foot still in the past.
I need to say my goodbyes but after this I think it's best I don't go back. at least this way I can see him settled, instead of lost all over again when we move on.
( could he wait longer? Possibly. yet willing up the strength to cut ties was hard enough. he didn't want to lose nerve or wait longer and only make things harder in the end. )
I'm sorry I sprung it on you. I didn't think about how losing him would affect you, and I should have. we have a little more time. it's worth it, I meant that.
( he isn't the only one who deserves a chance to say goodbye. )
her, and the rest of town Without my heart I felt so disconnected, but looking back I know there are people that cared about me. they all deserve a goodbye.
( though he would be lying if he said he would never think about what he's leaving behind. he will, but hopefully his goodbyes will close the door on the worst of it. )
[ Because of this has her concerned, she can't pretend she's not - but this is what they've been working towards. She believes that he still wants it.]
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.
( 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. )

Date: 2016-11-04 06:21 am (UTC)I understand why you have to go back, I get that want to do right by her.
[It's a little clearer, now that she's seen the alternative.]
