Chapter 1: The Unwanted Guest

Emma was lost in Killian's eyes. Gazing at the man she loved, she kept waltzing around the dancefloor, unaware of anyone but him. One hand on his hook, the other one on his shoulder, and his own in her back, she was following his lead and it felt like her feet were naturally moving around. Looking into his eyes, she was wondering how she had been so lucky to have him in her life. Like her mother had said, she had found true love, and it was the most precious thing she had ever had. Just a year and a day earlier, she had been celebrating her twenty-eighth birthday alone, in her apartment in Boston. When opening her eyes after making a wish, a fairy tales book had mysteriously appeared and had brought her to the Enchanted Forest.

They had waited for the morning before heading to the castle, where she had met them for the first time. To celebrate the return of the lost princess, a ball had been organized.

Emma and Killian had been dancing for almost an hour. Just like her, Killian was lost in her eyes. It was only when a new music started that he was pulled out of his thoughts.

"Do you realize I'm not doing anything anymore? You're dancing on your own. Will you believe me, now, when I tell you that you're a natural?"
