Walking into Granny's I see Regina sitting in the back booth. So I walk over kiss her cheek and sit across from her. "Wow darling. That was quick. How did you get here so fast?" "Well, I was actually right around the corner at the Sheriffs Department. I got a call this morning about an interview". I say smiling. "Really Emma? That's wonderful. Why didn't you tell me, how did it go?" "I wanted to surprise you if I got the job"! "And did you?" "Yes I did Regina. I start in a few weeks". "Oh Emma. That's so wonderful. I'm so happy for you". She grabs my hands and squeezes them. We ordered lunch and talked about what will be going on in the next few weeks. I need to start packing and figuring what to do with my furniture. Her stuff is way more comfortable than mine. Regina said I can bring whatever I want into the house. I don't really need to keep much. So I could sell or donate most of it. After lunch I walk her back to the town hall. We hold each other, give a sweet kiss goodbye then I open the door for her. She kisses me again and walks in. As I'm walking away I see Sheriff Hunter walking towards the building. I wonder if he saw me and Regina together. "Hello again Deputy Swan. Was that the certain someone you are in a relationship with?" "Ahh. Yes it was". "Hmm. And if I'm not mistaken I do believe that was the mayor, am I right?" "Yes. You are correct. That's not a problem is it. I can assure you I am a very professional person". "It shouldn't be a problem then". He gives me a smile and a nod then walks into the town hall. I go back to my truck and drive to Reginas house to wait till she gets out of work. Sitting on the couch I'm thinking about what I can do to make up for yesterday. I know she forgives me, but I really want to treat her to something special, but I'm coming up blank. So I google date ideas, and I see it. A romantic dinner cruise. That's perfect. We have Storybrooke harbor right here. So I googled dinner cruises near me. I find one that's actually for tonight. It's a sunset diner cruise and they have a few open spots left. I immediately text Regina. "Hey sorry to bother you babe, I was just wondering if you'd like to go out with me tonight?" A few minutes later I receive. "Why Miss Swan, are you asking me out on a date?" "Yes I am Madam Mayor. So what do ya say!" "Sure dear, a date sounds lovely". After she said yes, I called the cruise line and got the last two spots available. Awesome. Boarding starts at 7 and we depart at 8. It's also formal. Crap. Looks I'm going shopping. "Hey babe, me again. I'm going out shopping. I need something formal for tonight. Love you". "Formal? Emma what do you have planned?" "It's a surprise for now, but we have to leave about 7 tonight". I quickly drive over to the local tailor shop that sells dresses, tuxedos and suits. As I'm looking around a salesman walks up and asks if I need any help. "Hi yes. I need something for tonight, but I'm not really into wearing dresses". "That's not a problem at all. Over here we have many pant suits that I'm sure will work". I follow him and we both look through what they have. "Do you know what color you would like?" "I'd prefer black". "Here is a lovely tuxedo type suit that comes with a thin black necktie and a white shirt". "I like that, could I try it on?" "Of course. The dressing rooms are right behind you". He walks me over and puts the suit in the room and says "I'll be right out here if you need anything ". "Thanks". I try it on and knot the tie, then I stand and look. I kinda like it. "Hey, you still out there ?" "Yes". I step out and say "What do you think?" He's looking me all over and asks "How does it feel?" Then checks out the length of the cuffs and then the legs. "I like it. It seems to fit just right". "I agree. I think it looks fabulous on you". I smile and say "Well it looks like I've got the right one". We both smile and I go change. He's waiting for me when I finish and takes it from me. "If you like, I can have it pressed for you at no extra charge. I can even do it now since you need it tonight". "Wow, that would be wonderful. Thank you". "Not a problem. Just have a seat and I'll be back in a few minutes". Once all that was settled I went back to Reginas and I see her car in the driveway. I walk in with my new suit in hand and call out for her. "Hey Gina. I'm home". She kisses me "Hello my love. I take it you found something for tonight". "Yup. A nice black tuxedo type suit, and I look hot in it". "Do you now?" "Actually if I remember correctly, the salesman said I looked fabulous so there". She laughs, wraps her arms around my neck and kisses me. "Well I can't wait to see you in it then. So, are you going to tell me where we are going tonight?" "Sure, but how about we take a shower together first". "Ok I guess I can wait a few more minutes".
