“I know it’s fantastical because, obviously, he’s Captain Hook and she’s the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming, but in a weird way it’s kind of real. I think that’s why people respond to it because it’s not easy. It’s not just, ‘Oh look at them! They’re in love! Fantastic.’ It’s hard and they work at it, and they love each other and that’s what it is.” Seems to me like she herself is insecure about the relationship and didn’t really know what exactly to say.
Yeah, when Jennifer says things like this you know she doesn’t really like Emma and Hook together, in my opinion. She just doesn’t know what to say about it and there is no in depth analysis to have. She has to say they are in love with each other, but she knows it doesn’t really make sense, but she can’t say that either.
