This may be a silly question, and pardon me if it’s been asked and answered before, but when Snow and Grumpy meet in prison he tells her a story about being framed for stealing a diamond he meant to use to propose. We know that he broke things off with Nova before things got to that level (and just returned to work normally after that) so who is this girl he supposedly wanted to marry? And why would he get romantically entangled after walking away from his true love?
Or are we just to assume that he made up the story? He seemed so heartfelt- it’s surprising he’d come up with such a complex lie rather than a “Killed a guy in Wonderland just to watch him die” sort of thing.
