I don't know if just "considering" herself to be from our world would be a factor here for the curse not to take her away. At least I hope it's not. I hope they have a better explanation as to why she stayed.

It's also supposed take away what you love, isn't it? The first time around, Charming and Snow didn't remember each other. In the BTS pics, they're kissing. Although, it could have been just the actors publicly displaying affection...
