Chapter 1:

Emma rubbed her temples in frustration.

"No, Mom."

She was tired, so very tired of having this same argument over and over again. She was running out of viable excuses.

Mary Margaret continued to look at her with those hopeful eyes that she had become famous for.

"Emma, it's been two years! You've refused any sort of invitation that has come your way-"

Emma sighed in anger.

"I'm still adjusting, okay? I mean, we all are! And where am I going to find a husband anyway?! Are you going to find me one?!"

Mary Margaret grinned, clapping her hands.

"Oh Emma, what a great idea!"

Only then did it hit Emma.

"Erm, I didn't mean…look, it was just to shut you up..." she tried to backtrack before Mary Margaret could get carried away.

"No no! It's a fantastic idea! I know this place and the families that live here! I can just arrange a few meetings…"

"There is no way in hell I'm agreeing to this."

Mary Margaret just smiled at her.

"You already have."

Emma dropped her head into her hands.

"I've made a big mistake."
