I know no one here on Tumblr probably reads (or is caught up with) “i’d do it for you,” but if for some odd chance if you do/are, here’s a teaser for Chapter 17, under the cut.
When she doesn't respond to any calls, he begins to worry. He hasn't specifically paid attention to the date, but the memory remains as he quickly tries to recover from his own bland stupidity. Today is the day Graham passed away, of course she's not going to answer any messages or calls. He knows better than this, but he's just been so happy and caught up with everything, he's simply forgotten.
In an effort, he at least sends one text to her.
Killian: I've forgotten what today was. I'm sorry, Emma, I wish I could be there with you. Maybe in the stars tonight?
And for the rest of his day, it goes just about as normal. He checks up on the warehouse, but unlocking that huge room with a wave of cool air flushing out of it, well, it's just been quite the time he's missed all of this sort of stuff. There are items stacked in their rightful places, and though things have been altered and changed since the last time he even stepped foot near this warehouse, it doesn't cease to amaze him how successful their sailing company even progressed.
His phone goes off.
Incoming Call: Emma Swan
Of course he picks it up.
"Hey," she says, quieter than usual.
He sighs. "Hey. I assume you got... well the many texts I've sent?"
"Yeah, I just... needed time to myself this morning. But really? The stars?"
He laughs, his feet cautiously guiding him through the well-kept, organized warehouse. "Sorry love, I'll always have a little sailor, or say, pirate, in me. Besides, you couldn't have forgotten our date when I taught you about the stars, right?"
