Reviews, theories, and talk about ABC's Once Upon a Time TV show
I love this scene for several reasons, not only Killian is telling her without saying it that he loves her, not only he’s saying it by showing her faith in them and also letting her lead the dance, but it’s how Emma reacts to his words, not taking a step back, but leaning in, breathing him in, blushing, being speechless in front of this man telling her he wants her, but he wants her to want him, to want this, them, to be her choice and decision.
And Emma is looking at him right in the eyes, seeing he’s not lying, and she doesn’t even once take a step back.

“But I also believe in good form. So when I win your heart, Emma, and I will win it. It won’t be because of any trickery. It will be because you want me.

I love that it’s such a lovely moment where he uses his hook, which we only ever really see him use as a weapon, as something sweetly helpful. “Oh, my lady is thirsty. Let me just create a perfect lil vessel for you to enjoy some coconut milk!
I love you so much and you are so pretty and I just love being near you and you are my everything and I am so content right now and I love you I love you I love yooooooou!”

#do you even realize what he’s doing? #he’s noticing her #he thinks of turning around and looking at her directly #because they already had this connection back then #he had already been able to feel her presence #but he couldn’t understand what it was #so he didn’t turn around to look at this beautiful woman that somehow confused him #but that was also the moment he realized that this might be something greater #than just physical attraction #and do you see #that little smirk on his face #he’s happy #he’s happy that she’s with him #his hands have been tied by that woman #but he’s happy
