Hot and breathy

The last time Emma cried before she met Leo was when she was ten years old. She just got expelled from school after paying a bully back with her own coin, and her mom was asked to come pick her up

Emma cried because the other girl's mother, even though her daughter was also expelled, hugged her daughter close to herself but when Regina arrived to pick her up, she called Emma a disgrace to the name Da-Silva, right in the presence of everyone, without asking why she was expelled.

After slamming the door behind her, Emma found herself bursting into tears for the second time in five days, all because of Leo. She grabbed the box of tissues placed on the bedside table and sat down on the floor with her back to the wall wondering why his opinion of her mattered so much.
