Regina woke the next morning to the man she desperately loved gone. She was disappointed to find him not there and almost thought it was a dream. She went deep into thought trying to think of all the events that had happened the night before. She was brought out of her thoughts by two hands wrapped around her waist pulling her close from behind. "what are you thinking about m'lady?" "You" she said smiling "Thank you for staying with me last night." He smiled and said " I would do anything for you, my love. Now come downstairs, I made you breakfast."

Regina finished eating and thanked Robin for making her breakfast. She started to walk up the stairs when he grabbed her arm and pulled her back. "Where are you going m'lady?" He asked sounding disappointed. "I have to get ready for work. Someone has to run the town." She said in a joking manor. "It's Saturday. Take a break. You don't have to go in today." Robin said trying to persuade her. "I guess I don't have to go yet." Robin smiled and pulled her into a passionate kiss. She pulled away and smiled. "I love you" She said happily.

Regina was finally ready and on her way to work. She left Robin at the Mayors Mansion. She walked down the street and into her office. When she arrived, Snow was waiting for her. "What are you doing here?" Regina asked. "Where have you been? I have been waiting here for you." Snow said sounding worried. "Were you with Robin?" Snow asked curiously with a small smirk on her face. Regina started to blush with a small smile on her face and quietly said "yes." Snow gave her an excited look. Regina sighed and said "Don't look at me like that, I'm with a married man. It's not something i'm proud of." Snow looked at her sympatheticly and said "You are with a married man, but guess what? I have been with one too." Regina glared at her and said "That's not the same and you know it. I gave you a fake life. Charming may have been 'married' persay, but it wasn't real." "Don't feel guilty about being in love. You two are soulmates, you are meant to be, don't let Marian get in the way of your feelings. I'm not saying what you're doing is right, but you're doing it for the right reasons." With that Snow left, leaving Regina to think about everything she had just been told.

Regina went home a few hours later. When she got there she was greeted by a sweet, soft kiss. Robin pulled away and said "Hello m'lady, I missed you. I thought maybe we could have a special night tonight, just the two of us." "that sounds lovely, but first I need to talk to you. I talked to Snow today and she made a good point to me. She said that I needed to stop feeling guilty for being with you, and I realized she was right. But i cannot keep doing this. You can't just ignore the fact that you're still married. You need to talk to Marian." Robin stared deep into her eyes and said "You are right. I will talk to her. I will do anything for you and then we can finally be together." Regina smiled and he pulled her into a slow passionate kiss.
