A day or two, in all honesty Regina had no idea how long it had been. She was hungry, tired and she missed Robin. Though she sat before him, she was to be close to him, closer. She wanted to hug him, for him to wrapped his arms around her and lulled her sleep. She wanted him to reassure her that they were safe and sound. "Robin?" There was no response. "Robin." She called to him a little louder. He slowly looked up at her. "Are you alright? You hurt?" He asked right away. "No, no, nothing like that. I just...I just want to...talk? I guess. It gets quiet boring." She said. "Are you calling me boring m'lady?" He smirked. "When you don't speak to me, you don't look at me and there is literally the two of us here, yes you are quite boring." Regina laughed, so did he. For a second their hearts felt lighter, for a second they felt safe. Only for a second.

Emma never got a shut eye. She was worried for both her friends. The three grew up together, Emma and Robin always fought through the years. Regina was their peacemaker. At one point, Regina would carry a spray bottle and whenever they fought, she would spray both of them. Emma laughed at the memory the three of them shared. "We have to find them. I promised her dad she'll be okay." Emma looked up at Killian. "We will love, we will." He promised.

Will walked into the room where Regina and Robin sat. "What do you want? Aside from the money why are we here?" Robin asked. "I'll sign anything! You let Regina go!" "Robin, it's not just about the money here. You have everything I ever wanted. The money, the life. You know, wife and all." Will chuckled. "I stopped blaming you for what happened to Ana but my father giving you everything that was suppose to be mine just adds the cherry on top of things." He added. Regina looked at the two men, and wondered what had happened to Ana. Robin spent some years away from Regina, she had no idea how he spent those years.

Few years back, Ana died in the arms of Robin. They were on their way to fetch Will that night. He was drunk and started a fight in the bar he was in. Robin got a call from Ashley, one of the bartenders for the night. He up and left his apartment and got a call from a worried Ana. He explained the situation and she insisted on joining him. He understood her standpoint, she was worried for the one she loved. When they arrive Ana rushed inside the bar and found will on top of a guy and he was throwing punches. "William Knave! Enough!" She yelled as she pulled on him. He shrugged her off and Robin was there to catch her. She stood once again and tried to pry off her fiancé off the stranger. Not long after the authorities came into the bar to break off the fight. Will and the man did not listen and continued their fight. Shots were fired and everyone were stunned. Robin was on the ground with Ana. Will looked around for Ana and found her with Robin. "Ana!" He rushed to her side and watched her slowly shut. "Will" was her last word before she was gone.
Throughout the process of letting Ana go, Robin was by Will's side. When he needed someone to cry to Robin was there to put the pieces back together. Robin treated Will more than a cousin, he was his brother. What he did not know was that Will blamed him. He was to be blamed for what had happened to Ana.

"If you didn't bring her along that night...if you didn't tell her what had happened, she would be alive. We would've been married, we would've been happy." Robin had no words to say to him, neither did Regina. She had no idea that, once upon a time, Will wasn't miserable.
Robin nodded in understanding of Will. "I just want to ask you something. What was Marian to you, through all of this? Did you loved her at least? Because if Regina and I are here right now and you still blame me about Ana clearly you still love Ana." "Marian?" Will smirked. "She was merely a pawn in my game." He said before he left the room. Regina looked at Robin and found a mixture of sadness and anger in his eyes. She knew he was devastated for how Will used Marian. After all, she was still his girlfriend, she was.

"Hey." Regina called out to him. He looked up and he saw her smile. "How are you?" She asked nonchalantly. He laughed at her innocent aura. "What are you doing?" "Nothing." She shrugged. "Just small talk, pass the time you know. I can't just sit here, my ass hurts by the way, and stare at four corners of the walls. We have to talk." "Alright, what would you look to tlak about?" He asked. "Anything. Surprise me." Regina smiled. "Okay uh...let's see. If we get out of her-" "When! When we get out of here." Regina corrected him. "Uh...okay, when we get out of here. We could lay in our bed and sleep for a couple of days. We will eat a lot of food. We w would eat ice cream," Regina laughed at how childish he was. "We're gonna drink whiskey and eat junk food." She laughed a little louder. "Oh and I'll sign the papers." he smiled at her but her smile slowly faded. "Robin..." "When we get out of here, I can assure you will be truly free." Regina shook her head slowly, and met his eyes. "I don't want to be free." She whispered.

They were silent for a while. No one spoke a word. They both listened to their breathing. Neither of the look the other in the eye.
Regina's heart was pounding in her chest. She thought that if she heard from Robin that he was willing to let her go, it would be...okay. She was wrong, she really did love him. She wanted to wake in the morning back in his arms, close her eyes with the thought that he was the last person she saw. She wanted to wake to a warm-bare chest, and the rhythmic breathing of Robin.

She will be happy, the happiest. Her happiness was his main goal. Above all, all he ever wanted was to see her laugh, smile and be carefree. He wanted nothing but for her to wake in the morning with a smile. With him out of the way, she could freely be with somebody who wouldn't give her heart aches.

Regina broke the silence. She couldn't hold it in any longer, he needed to her. She couldn't let him go, not after she knew to herself how she truly felt. She couldn't let him go when she knew she was finally ready.

She looked up, searched for his eyes. She spoke the three words he was dying to hear, she was dying to say, "Stay with me."
