"Ugh! Why did I do that?!" Regina asked herself. "He doesn't remember! "
Just as David finished doing the dishes, Regina ran all these questions in her mind. She knew she shouldn't have gone in for a kiss, because David didn't remember who he was, due to the curse.
Regina slowly followed David towards the front door, thoughts of regret still running through her head.
"Thanks again, for dinner. "were David's last words just before he left.
Right as David turned his back to Regina to walk out, she heard his voice in her head.
"It's almost like, the universe wanted you to find me."
She heard the door close. Fighting back tears, she looked at herself in the mirror.
"Why? Why am I not his precious, Snow White?!"
Thoughts of sadness running through her mind changed to rage, and before even thinking about it, Regina threw her glass of wine, half-empty, at the mirror.
A loud sound from the crash filled the air. She started to walk away, but she froze on her third step and collapsed to the ground.
Sitting in the middle of the foyer on her knees, Regina was broken. Tears of anguish rushing down her face.
As she held herself and choked out broken sobs, she felt someone gently grab her shoulders from behind.
David knelt down behind her, wrapping his arms around her tightly. The both of them stayed in the same position for what felt like hours. After a few minutes passed by, Regina turned around, David still holding her.
"You came back?" Regina asked, embarrassed and confused.
"Of course I did, I heard the crash and I came back to see if you were okay."
"Why?" Regina asked, tears still streaming down her cheeks.
"Because..." David said, trying to find the right words, "even though you tried to kiss me, I still would never want you hurt. "
Regina wiped away her tears and backed away from David to look at the broken glass.
"I'll get a broom."
As Regina went to grab the broom, David watched her walk away. He felt guilty for looking at her like that, but he couldn't help it. She had such a nice figure and she was, indeed, a gorgeous woman.
.When Regina returned with the broom and dust pan, David held the dust pan as Regina sweeped away the shattered glass.
."Thank you for coming back. I guess all I needed was some comfort and a hug. It's hard to get those these days, especially for me."
"What about Henry? He doesn't give you hugs?"
"Well, he's a ten year old boy who's conflicted between his birth mother and his adoptive mother. He doesn't want hugs from anyone. "
David gave a soft chuckle and Regina gave him a small grin that quickly went away when she said, "Especially not from me."
"Why on Earth would you say that? "
"I don't know, he thinks I'm evil. "
"Oh, nonsense! "
"No, it's true, he told me himself."
Regina's eyes began to fill with tears and she turned her head away from him so he wouldn't notice.
"Well, like you said, he's just a conflicted ten year old kid. It's probably just a phase he's going through. He'll come around eventually. And he'll love you just as he did before. "
Regina smiled at that and took the dust pan from David.
After throwing away the shards of glass, Regina returned to the foyer, where David was looking at a picture of Henry and Regina when Henry was just an infant.
"Oh, how precious! He was such a cute baby!" Regina smiled. "He's such a good kid!"
"Yeah, he is." Regina said, sounding a bit saddened at his being apart from her.
"That's because he was raised by a wonderful mother. You."
Regina blushed and modestly smiled at the ground. It was then, David realized how absolutely beautiful she really was. Inside and out. He started to think that refusing her kiss was a mistake and he moved in. Regina realized this and looked up at him, their mouths inches apart. Staring, lost in eachother's eyes. As Regina broke the eye contact and closed her eyes to move in for a kiss, David remembered what he was doing was wrong. He let out a loud breath and said, "Well, I guess I should be going."
"Yeah." Regina said, this time sounding more irritated than saddened by his second rejection.
