Upon mention of Neverland her eyes fall to the floor. Well, he doesn't have a shadow which means they are most certainly not from the same point in time. He doesn't know of how Pan was killed, what happened to Neal--oh god what happened to Neal--
Belle realizes that she has already made a mistake in telling him what occurred with her from the point she's at. What does she say? Her eyes flicker toward her wedding ring before coming to back up to his face. "I, uh." How does she say this without lying? She's a horrible liar.
Leaving out details, by omission, is so much easier. Her heart twists inside her chest. No, she's standing where she is because she couldn't share everything with him. "From my point in time I was trying right a wrong I made a very long time ago. There is a woman that comes to Storybrooke and she is very dangerous. She had a magical item, a hat, and I wanted to get it back from her. You refused to follow me and I--" Her voice wavers again but she steels herself. "and I made you."
Belle wishes she could just sink to a corner away from everyone. Don't cry. "Because I knew what she intended to do with that hat." Belle swallows back the lump in her throat. She still can't bring herself to mention Anna.
"That's all I can tell you, and I know this will sound cruel, but you have to trust that's all you need to know." She can't tell him about the worst year of his life, the death of his own son, their oddly place marriage in the mix. It was one thing after another when he came back from Neverland and she can't bring herself to let him become aware of those troubles if there is a chance they're stuck here permanently.
