Secrets

Reconciliation

How in hell did that happen?

Elsa comes and threatens everyone but after hearing her sad story they all wanted to be the first to help.

Of course they did, it was in their blood. The Uncharmings couldn't stop themselves at the sight of someone in distress.

It was simply infuriating.

However, there was a more interesting aspect in this whole story.

Rumple.

Regina thought as looked - without paying much attention - at the book on her hands. What was supposed to be a relaxing reading turned out as a long debate with herself.

Why did he want to help?

Days before he was in her house telling her to be careful with Elsa. It didn't make any sense this change of attitude.

It couldn't be just because of Belle - Rumple wanted something. He changed his mind in the minute his wife told the others about Anna being in Enchanted Forest.

He wanted to be there? Why?

Well, Regina was determined to find out.

The door bell ringing startled her, making the mayor jump in her seat.

She was beginning to miss the time when people feared coming at her house, it was less agitated.

She walked tiredly towards the door and opened it annoyedly.

The men standing on her porch made her feel a mix of emotions - joy, frustration, relief and a little bit of embarrassment.

Since she had a lot in mind, how could she stand there baffled without saying a word?

Robin stood still with crossed arms and an irritated expression. He was resting his back on Regina's porch column and looked right at her.

The mayor could see he was tense and angry.

"Good afternoon." He said icily.

Regina frowned and readjusted her weight in her legs. Was he mad at her?

"How can I help you?" She replied, confused.

Robin let out a humorless small laugh. "May I come in? I believe we have to talk." He muttered, still looking at her.

Ignoring the weird feeling in her stomach and the beat her heart had skipped, the mayor took two steps back and opened the door fully for him to pass next to her - closer than it was necessary, she would say.

"How are you feeling?" Regina questioned without hesitate.

The outlaw took a deep breath and looked down. "Your spell worked perfectly, milady." He said, and the mayor couldn't help but snort at the mockery lint his voice held.

"I can see how grateful you are. You're welcome, by the way." Regina bitted out.

The fact he was mad at her for saving his life affected her more than she would like to admit.
