Secret of the Dark Curse
Regina had been in this cursed town for over a week now and those triumphant words, "I have won" started to feel hollow and a bitter taste filled her mouth.
Every day is the same wash, rinse, dry and repeat. This monotonous existence had started to get to her. Her life would be so different if she took her fathers advice to leave everything behind and go somewhere else to make a new life that at least would have a decent interaction with other people but now that had gone.
Instead her life had become wash, rinse, dry and repeat. For the next eighteen years she tried to vary her drab uninteresting routine that she called life. Even that became wash, rinse, dry and repeat.
Getting that little baby eighteen years her drab uninteresting life of wash, rinse, dry and repeat had broken this pattern.
Every person that she met with Henry would have an effect in such away that the repeats of these people would some how disappear and this made her life more palatable. With Henry by her side the wash, rinse, dry and repeat for some of the residences of Story Brook would be altered for a day or two and sometimes even longer.
The longer Regina and Henry made contact with that person the more normal the routine became and wash, rinse, dry and repeat started to fade away.
Whenever the town folks of Story Brook tell how Emma broke the curse they forgot that in away that Regina letting Henry into her heart started to weaken the curse without realizing she was doing so. And so the cycle of wash, rinse, dry and repeat had been broken.
