I kind of see that she might “date” Hook to try and get over her love for Neal. But I don’t think it would work. I can see a romance coming with Hook but I don’t see them as each other’s true love. More like moving on to the next phase in life. Hook being able to love again and Emma being able to confront the fact that she still very much loves and wants to be with Neal. Which is quite ironic if Hook is her eye opening of her feelings for Neal.
I keep thinking, here we have Neal who has lost or had to given up almost every love he could have, first his mother, than his father, than the darlings, than hook (?), than Emma. It is very strange and ironic that Hook would be the pulling factor in both the mother and the lover of Neal. Would history repeat itself? Would Neal be like his father and lose the woman they love to same Pirate?
I keep thinking that would just be very cruel and hurtful towards Nealfire. I know they say its been 300 years but it doesn’t matter it will still be hurtful. I think Neal could more that likely deal with any other but Hook has to be a bit much for him.
But I don’t want to forget Emma, she has experience a lot of pain and hurt, that I can not deny. Neal was home for her and first time she felt loved, wanted, and accepted. She absolutely glowed when she was with Neal. And than he was gone, and it hit her like a bag bricks. I’m sure she felt like that orphan girl again who wasn’t good enough to be love. Now she realize that Neal like her parents did love her, they always loved her but they all did what they thought was not only best for her but for the greater good.
Here we have two broken flawed humanistic realistic individuals that have found a deep and profound love for each other! Despite the pain and hurt, there is love, and love can cover a multitude of sins. Swanfire represent hope and second chances!
