Regina sat on the bench, the one she sat on almost every morning watching the sunset rise. It was quite cold outside though, and she was freezing. As soon as the sun peeked over the mountains she smiled, sometimes it just made her forget, about everything.
"Hello." A voice came from behind her.
Regina jumped, startled, and turned around to find her best friend, Emma.
"What are you doing out here? Thought you hated the mornings?" Regina asked.
That was true, Emma absolutely hated mornings and everything that involved waking up. "Well, I just thought that maybe today we could hang out you know, like old times? You seem pretty down lately, are you alright?" Emma asked.
"I'm fine." Regina answered sternly, avoiding any eye contact with the blonde. "And I can't hang around today I have to head to work in about ten minutes."
"How about after?" Emma asked.
"Why do you want to hang out me, what happened to your boyfriend, Killian?" Regina asked turning back to Emma.
"We're still going out.. but you're more important, you're my best friend and we haven't done anything fun in a long time, come on please?" Emma practically begged, making her way to the bench where Regina was sitting, and sat down next to her.
"Okay, alright fine." said Regina, she really wasn't up for doing anything fun, especially because of what happened to her Father a couple weeks ago.
"Regina, I can tell something is wrong so please, tell me, you'll feel better." Emma assured her. Regina sighed and closed her eyes for a second before she opened them again.
"Okay, so you remember my Father.. Henry?" Regina asked.
"Yes of course, why Regina did something happen to him?" Emma asked.
Regina felt a tight knot in her stomach form, as she began to speak again. "He.." She stopped. "Passed away a couple weeks ago." Regina said.
Emma's mouth widened, and she pulled Regina into a hug. "God, I'm so sorry Regina, why didn't you want to tell me?" Emma asked.
"I don't know.. I just feel it's best if I cope with this by myself." Regina answered and released from their hug.
"It'll only make you feel worse, and I know how much he meant to you." Emma said.
Regina nodded but quickly snapped out of her sadness. "Listen, I gotta get to work, I'll see you later." Regina said getting up and gathering her things. "Bye."
"Bye.." Emma replied as she walked off on her way to work. Emma sighed and sat there, she decided she would stay there a little longer, it was peaceful there, no wonder Regina liked it so much.

Regina sat in her office, filling out paperwork like usual and listening to some jazz music. She also turned the fireplace on so it was nice and cozy for her, and what made it much better was the warm, hot coco sitting next to her paperwork. But because of Regina's mood she could care less, it was the same everyday, all she really wanted was company, but a certain kind of company. The kind of company that put a smile on her face and made her forget about all of life's obstacles for just a matter of seconds. Her thoughts were interrupted by a knock on her door. She got up quickly and approached the door, opening it slowly to reveal a man, his hair was brown and his eyes were like the color of the ocean.
