[ It's customary for Emma to come over most mornings for breakfast, and this particular morning, Snow's expecting her. So, muffins and donuts are sitting on the table and the coffee is just finishing brewing when she realizes Emma's late. Which, to be fair, isn't in and of itself alarming, but she's late by far too long. So, Snow leaves her room and goes to Emma's, only to find the door cracked open. Pushing it in all the way reveals an empty room, and Snow's heart drops into her stomach.
She could handle a lot without David because Emma was here, because he'd want her to look out for their daughter no matter what. But now she's gone, and Snow swallows heavily, her chin trembling a little as she looks around the room. It's like she was never there, and Snow walks out, closing the door gently behind her before knocking on Regina's door insistently. It's early, but she knows better than to let herself in. No one needs to walk in on their step-mother in bed with her partner. Ever. ]
