Regina's POV
I lie on my living room couch eating icecream and watching Netflix. I was watching a very sad romance movie so of course I was balling my eyes out. Worst of all it was that time of the month. I walked to the kitchen going to pour some red wine when I heard a knock on the door. I didn't hang out with tons of people so I assumed it was someone I knew. I didn't bother to wipe my face off or anything. I opened the door revealing a man.
"Hello." He said.
I gasped and wiped off my face with my sleeve.
"Hello?" I said.
"Sorry for disturbing you but I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Robin Hood, and I just moved into the house across the street with my son." He finished.
"That's nice. I'm Regina." I said introducing myself.
"Nice to meet you." He replied.
I nodded.
"Hey, I was just going to have a drink, wanna join me?" I asked trying to be friendly.
"I'd love too." He answered.
I stood away from the door letting him come in and shut it quickly behind him.
"Over here." I said leading him to the kitchen.
"Red wine?" He asked.
"Also known as my best friend." I joked pouring both of us a glass.
"Were you crying?" He asked taking the glass from my hands.
"I was watching a movie." I answered stalling the question.
"Oh." He replied.
"So, where's your son now?" I asked.
"He's spending the night at his friends tonight." He responded.
I nodded.
"Do you have any children?" He asked.
"I have an adopted son, yes." I replied.
"That's nice." He said taking a sip of the wine.
We talked and talked and talked. He told me lots about his life as I did to him. I didn't tell him anything personal just the basics.
"I should probably get going." He suggested handing me his wine glass.
"Yeah." I said with a smile walking with him to the door.
"We should hang out again sometime." He said.
I nodded.
"Sounds great." I replied.
"Have a nice night." He said walking off my porch.
"You too." I answered closing my door and heading back to the couch.
