It had been 5 years since she had lost her true love and she found it a little easier everyday but knowing that she could have been the one who had been killed instead of him. She lives with that guilt everyday and she struggles with it every minute of everyday. Daniel meant everything to her and she was mostly upset every time she heard their favourite song her would break down into tears knowing the fact that they would never dance together again. It took er a while to realise it had been 5 years and it was getting silly so she had decided to take up Tango. Emma had recommended it to her, said that was how she met Neal and they are so into each other it makes Regina physically sick.
When she enters the room for her first lesson everyone is paired up so she is alone and wonders if there is any point of her staying until she hears a strong and sexy British accent coming from somewhere in the room.
"That must make you my partner then, mi'lady." The voice is coming from the back of the room behind all of the couples and when they all spread out they display a gorgeous British man with the most amazing body she has ever seen.
"Oh, okay." She says shyly, tucking a small piece of hair behind her ear.
He walks up to her and takes her hand, firmly but not tight that it hurts. She feel a shiver run down her spine and a flutter in the pit of her stomach the moment their skin touches. She feels nervous to be dancing with the teacher as it is her first time here but she soon begins to settle in quickly when they begin to dance.
"You are a natural." He says to her and she tries to hide her blushing but she knows that he knows that she is so there is really no point in hiding it.
"Thank you."
He recognises her voice, but he ignores it and carries on.
"What's your name?" she asks, soft but curious.
"Robin, Robin Locksley."
It's him. She knew it. She knew exactly who he was and she was sure that it wouldn't take him long to realise who she was, so she ran and left him standing in the middle of the dance floor alone.
When she eventually reached home she curled up on the couch and began to cry her eyes out. She couldn't believe it was him. Robin. Robin was the one before Daniel. They were together for 3 years in high school and nothing was wrong until Daniel started and she begun to cheat on Robin with Daniel. He broke it off as he was moving but soon found out from a friend what she was doing and she had never heard from him since. She felt terrible. She should have stayed and explained herself but she was afraid of what her would say. She didn't really know why she didn't recognise him before but the fact was he was there and she couldn't make him suffer any more than he already had.
She begun to mutter to herself, "Shall I go or shall I ditch it altogether?" over and over again. She had felt the same with Robin as she first did when they first met when he moved to her high school in 9th grade. She is making herself feel sick by panicking so much. Should she still go? If so, should she tell Robin? Or should she stay quiet? She couldn't breathe. She couldn't believe what she had done all those years ago to this poor man. Would he forgive her? She sleeps on it, (even though it is almost impossible to sleep thinking about everything) but she tried.
