If there's one thing she's gotten used to, it's complicated timelines and all of the issues that arise from them. Missing years, complete with memory loss and odd aging processes were almost normal in Storybrooke - but where she's from, they were usually tied to one curse or another.
If he's selling himself as Sleeping Beauty with Captain America as his Prince Charming, it's a pretty easy sell. Steve's the only guy she's ever met who could give her father a run for his money. "You're ahead of me and behind me. It was 2012 before I woke up. I was born in a place called the Enchanted Forest, but I was sent through a portal when I was born. Ended up in Boston."
She'll buy missing years if he buys portals that drop babies off in Boston. If she thinks about it for too long, she might be asking more of him than he is of her. Lately, it's just seemed more important to be honest than to keep up the act of being normal. Saves her the awkwardness of surprising her friends with magic and fairytales later on if they know that going in.
"Do you have friends here? You're not the first New Yorker I've run into - not even the first who's aged well."
