No, when I was a kid, someone came into my life for a while and I thought we were going to be…best friends. But this girl lied to me and I pushed her away because of that lie and she asked me to forgive her but I never did. It took some time but I realized that was a mistake and I regretted the decision but by then it was too late. The damage was already done. I don’t want to make the same mistake again, Regina.
Living in Storybrooke, I’ve got my son and my parents, and I love them, but they can’t always understand me. They don’t know what it feels like to be rejected and misunderstood. Not the way I do, not the way you do. Somehow that makes us…I don’t know, unique. Maybe even special.
