Love me or hate me, both are in my favour. If you love me, I’ll always be in your heart… If you hate me, I’ll always be in your mind.

Emma had been weary of Lilian ever since they had returned from New York. It was in her nature, she guessed, to be wary of things. And she was seeing so many things between Neal -or Baelfire, or whatever his name truly was- and Henry’s babysitter that it had gotten hard to ignore them.

There had been little things at first. The way he’d casually put his hand on her knee as they spoke, and the way she’d put her arm around his waist as they walked down the street, or the way they’d look at each other and smile as though they knew a secret no one else was aware of.

It wasn’t weird, she thought, as they loved each other as siblings.

But then…then she had started noticing the sweetness with which Neal would smile at Lilian, and the tightness with which they’d hugged, so tightly it looked as though they’d break each other’s bones, and the softness with which he’d press their foreheads together as they embraced.

Emma didn’t know why she cared, of course, because even if what her gut was telling her were true and Lily and Neal had once been together, he was nothing to her but a guy who had abandoned her and let her go to prision. She had no reason to feel any kind of jealousy about it.

But as she stared at them both, having breakfast with her and with Henry on Neal’s room at Granny’s, as she heard him calling Lily princess, she decided she’d find out what it was exactly that they were. She remembered Hook calling the teen Tiger Lily, which meant that, if she had truly been to Neverland, maybe Neal had meet her there. And Emma was sure there was something they were hidding about their past together.

She would have found Hook to ask him, but the captain hadn’t been in the mood to talk back on the Enchanted Forest and she was sure he would still say nothing about it. She’d find out what she needed to know on her own, she decided, and maybe, just maybe, she’d ask Gold for help in case she was not able to discover anything.
