Emma has to sneak back into her parents’ cabin before dawn, being as quiet as she can so she doesn’t wake Mary Margaret. It’s actually kind of strange, like she’s finally getting to be a normal rebellious teenager, sneaking out at night to hook-up with the kind of bad girl parents are always warning their kids about.
But despite her tiptoeing and closing the door as softly as she can, Mary Margaret wakes up with a start when Emma’s still in the middle of the room, sitting bolt upright in the top bunk, her hair sticking up in about a million different directions.
“Emma?” she says groggily, her voice thick with sleep. “Are you okay?”
Emma freezes, trying not to panic, trying to look normal, trying to act like she didn’t just spend the night with her mother’s worst enemy. “Y-yeah,” she finally stutters, her heart racing. “I was just…I wanted some water.”
