Emma Had Been Trying To Balance Work And Figuring Out What The Hell Was Going On. Neal Had Been Her Rock


emma had been trying to balance work and figuring out what the hell was going on. neal had been her rock in the chaos that seemed to follow her these days , he did so much for her that emma would do anything to help make his life a bit easier when she could. the diner was on her way to the station so it wasnt out of her way so emma decided to help her husband out. emma in tended on ordering a hot chocolate to go as she walked in but her name had stopped her in her tracks. turning to look at killian , something about the man seemed familiar. the way he spoke her name made her feel something emma couldnt quite place her finger on. ‘ uh yeah , killian right? ‘

Killian shifted the box in his hands uncomfortably, the few light items inside clamoring against the sides of the container with the movement. He hadn't been cleaning; not really anyways. Rather, he had been desperately searching his house for any signs of his past life; any proof that these memories which had suddenly come upon him were real or that this life which he had come to know was fake. In the process, he had happened upon a few of Neal's old things. Desperate to get rid of them - or moreso, to absolve himself of the sudden confused memories and emotions associated with looking at them - he was eager to pass the responsibility onto someone more deserving. Neal had been too busy to meet today, but his wife had volunteered to take his place in the brief exchange, and he was happy to oblige; losing the items would make him one step closer to becoming the man he used to be, one step farther from the version of himself his false memories portrayed.
He had met his friend's wife before, albeit briefly, but enough that he was confident he would recognize her. Enough that he was sure he would be able to find her, quickly pass off Neal's goods, and fuck off to the closest bar or other establishment of drinks and debauchery. What he hadn't expected, however, was his reaction to the woman as she entered the coffee shop. Stormy blue hues landed upon the icy blonde waves at the entrance, a lump forming in his throat as he quickly took in the woman: the way her hair sat just right on her shoulders, the way her uniform hugged her body, the natural beauty in her face shining even in its neutral resting position. His stomach dropped as she approached, his brow furrowing and eyes widening at his involuntary reaction to her presence. " Emma? " The name escaped his mouth before he could even process what he was saying, foreign yet seemingly all-too-familiar on his lips, the mere sound of it causing butterflies to take flight as the lump in his throat grew so heavy he could barely swallow.

@bluefl4mes asked : “ unfortunately for everyone , i will keep doing whatever i want. “ zelda & hope.

zelda couldnt help but chuckle lightly at the other women , zelda had admired the people who had a strong enough will to not back down. she really does admire those people who were able to have a path that wasnt choosen for them. ‘ i think thats great! even if others dont think so. ‘

leia felt bad , she knew that her pulling away had been confusing. she was confused herself if she was honest , she had so much information swirling around in her head. but she also was scared to have the conversation about what they were going to do now that memories were starting to come up. leia gave arthur a thankful smile because she had been on the way to make one of her own. It made her feel worse because arthur was thoughtful and leia didnt know what else to do then push him away. ‘ i still appreciate it , you didnt have to do it. ‘


katniss’s sleep admittedly have gotten worse since she had found her sister , she just couldnt get prims face that held a lack of recognition when looking at her. so once peeta got up and left for work katniss left for a run , if she was honest she would say she didnt want to be home alone. but katniss gave peeta a small smile at his words because they were far from the truth. ‘ i figured you could use a real meal. ‘ katniss shrugged before leaning slightly on the counter. ‘ do you have a moment to sit and eat? ‘

most days peeta didn't stay the full day in the bakery. but he always did the morning shift, baking the fresh bread and decorating new cupcakes. it meant waking up very early. always leaving katniss in bed, which pained him. but it meant he got the rest of the day with her. plus, he always made sure to give her a kiss on the forehead before hand. it also meant sometimes he'd get surprised with breakfast, just like today. he had come in from the back at the sound of the bell. "what's this?" peeta asked, with a smile. "always spoiling me, i don't deserve it."


vex was stocking up a tray in the display case when she heard the bell ring above the door. giving the other women a smile trying to calm the nerves that was clearly radiating from the red head. putting down the try on the top of the display case so she could take hold of the paper. ‘ youre anastasia right? my brother said you were going to come by at some point. ‘ vex asked just to double check to make sure she hadnt mixed up people.

Just take a deep breath and go inside. You're confident, you're hot, you've got this. Anastasia swallowed the lump in her throat, wiping her sweaty palms on the front of her dress as she pushed open the bakery door with her hip. Her eyes locked onto the woman working the counter, a nervous smile growing on her lips as she approached with newfound resolve; albeit, a resolve that didn't last long after she almost tripped over her own two feet. "Hi. I was told to bring this here..?" She awkwardly smoothed the paper in her hands, offering the resume to the woman after an uncomfortable pause.
