Regina turned her phone off and set it face down on the table. She looked over at Robin, who was pouring a her glass of lemonade. "I still don't know what to say."

"Say for what?" Robin handed Regina the glass.

"My farewell address," Regina took a sip of lemonade. "I need to say something more than just, 'I'm out, have Ashley as your mayor, bye'."

"I'm sure you'll figure something out." Regina's phone vibrated and Robin picked it up. "It's from Emma. She wants to make sure you're okay."

Regina sighed. She set the glass of lemonade down and took her phone from Robin. "What do I say? I can't tell her the truth, not yet."

"At least tell her you're okay. I'm worried about you enough for both her and I."

"Well stop worrying; I'm fine."

"I don't believe you, but I know you're not ready to open up about it yet, so I'll let you try to convince Emma you're okay."

Regina's eyes went from her phone screen up to Robin. "Robin?"

"Yes?"

"I love you."

"I love you too. Make sure your girlfriend stops worrying about you." Robin grabbed his phone and darted out of the room before Regina could fully comprehend what he had said.

"Emma's not my girlfriend," Regina shouted at him. Robin didn't respond, so Regina decided to confront him about it later, when he couldn't escape. She began typing out a response to Emma.
