Snow and Ella's encounter: Ella is on the road back from the Ball (Having transformed back to the servant girl). Snow is on the road as well, looking for someone to rob. After a brief conversation, Snow agrees to help Ella get back home before her step-mom by providing a road blockage (similar to what she did in Snow Falls), giving Ella enought time to sneak back home.

after that initial encounter, Snow visits Ella, where Ella helps provide food and provision for Snow.

All of this is just my headcanon.
