About This Quote

This quote is about how much Emma would have enjoyed knowing that she had something that could blow her life and mine apart, if it came out. This is because she was so focused on her business, she never thought about the power she held in her hand. She felt like she had nothing to lose by telling people about her notoriety, but in reality, she did. If the power had come out, her whole world could have been destroyed.
