"I've never wanted anything else, Regina," Emma whispered as she touched the brunette's face gently, "I've only ever wanted you."

"Emma, how can you-?" Regina started frantically, trying to understand the blonde's devotion towards her. She looked down at her clasped hands, desperate to put off Emma's advances that were slowly chipping away the armor around her heart.

"Regina," Emma smiled gently, cutting her off by bringing her head up so the brunette was forced to look into Emma's unwavering, blue-green eyes. With Emma's voice speaking her name simply, Regina's armor fell to pieces around her heart and she realized then that she didn't care.
