Ah, Maine. How to describe it to a stranger? "It's not that much warmer than it is here, I have to say." Apparently apart from Neverland, she was never going to visit a world warmer than her own. "It's by the ocean, so it's a different atmosphere than here. And we're a little more about technology than magic... that part is harder to explain." She looks a little apologetic at that. "I live in a small town. It's nice. Home."

It's said that just as she started to believe Storybrooke was home again, she wound up somewhere else. No wonder she had a hard time buying things were ever going to be calm, that she was going to get to her happily ever after; because they never stayed calm for long.
