Summary
“Maybe loyalty is a kind of patience. Like hope. A holding pattern for the heart, while we wait for change.”
Marianne needed a change. Teaching in a country prep school for a year, as it turned out, would change pretty much everything.

Summary
And sometimes she’s glad her heart is half gone, that it’s allowed her to soften her approach a little, because sometimes there are things she must treat with delicacy – something her brash, full heart would not always understand. She can’t cradle her oldest child, she can’t always say the important things, but she can smile, and she can understand.
“Oh, Emma.” She lets out a with a breath, smiling. “She doesn't hate you.”
It's the easiest thing to say, and the easiest thing to truly believe.

Summary
The woman who opens the door is nothing like Kara expected.
She’s not a housewife. She’s young, probably Kara’s age, and alarmingly pretty. She looks loose, and carefree, and stylish. She looks like a catalog model. No…even better. Those women don’t have half the curves that this woman does, they don’t have her subtle smile or her bright green eyes –
Bright green eyes that are staring directly at Kara.
“Can I help you?”
OR
Kara is a sexless housewife in 1969, feeling trapped and not knowing why. But when mysterious, kind-hearted Lena Luthor moves in next door, hosting swinger’s parties but ignoring the men, Kara’s whole world shifts on its axis.

Summary
Henry brings Emma home. Regina says you’re Henry’s birth mother? and Emma says hi and then Regina says I’m Regina Mills and Emma stumbles back against the pillar on the porch and tucks her wrist against her. She says shakily, Emma Swan, and there’s the slightest flicker of recognition in Regina’s eyes.
She wonders, at first…
Regina wears heavy bracelets and pays Emma as little attention as she can while also keeping Henry from her. She sees Emma from her window on one of the first days in Storybrooke, her hands outstretched as she takes a chainsaw to Regina’s precious apple tree, and the first thing Regina notices is her name scrawled across Emma’s wrist.
Of course. Of course.
