Charming still yearns to go back. There's something nostalgic and wonderful about the notion that he can go back to a place like the Enchanted Forest and hope that it might welcome him there. "If Snow were here, I think I would stop at nothing to convince her to find a door home. And then we would steal Emma and Henry away with us and I'd figure out how to keep Regina and all the others out."

Selfish, true, but he thinks they've suffered enough and deserve some happiness. "Who might this she be? That doesn't remember you?"
