There are a million things Mary Margaret could do to fill up her time. There are other places to volunteer, other people she can help: hell, she could even take a day just for herself, if Mary Margaret were the sort of person who ever thought of that as a viable option.
Emma's pretty sure the thought just never crosses her mind.
It's not losing the hospital that's got her so unhappy: it's losing David Nolan, when he was never hers to begin with.
Not that it makes a difference. People feel what they feel -- that's why they get in trouble.
"Yeah," she agrees, but her eyes are still on Mary Margaret's face, and they're still full of sympathy.
For what it's worth, she thinks they would have been really cute together, but when he's got a wife and another life, that's not something that can be a consideration.
"Maybe it'll be better like this," she says. She shouldn't, because she shouldn't offer false hope, but she can't stand to see Mary Margaret looking like a kitten caught out in the rain. "It's only been a little while. He's got a lot of stuff to figure out, and now you both have some space to think."
