"If the two of you always attacked your problems the way you slammed into that door, you must have been quite the pair." A lifetime of friendship is exactly the sort of thing Emma's never experienced herself, but it kind of warms her heart to hear that someone's pulling it off. Her history as a friendless orphan isn't ever distant enough to cause her to stop wondering what the opposite might have been like.

"I'm glad that the three of you have each other. This place takes as much as it gives sometimes, but the best way to move forward here is to know you have someone in your corner."

It's a quieter confession than some of the others; maybe it's now officially easier to be a fairytale savior than to talk about everything they've gone through here. She still misses the promise of happily ever after, which is almost funny for a woman who never really bought into it before.
