It was rare that Emma could slip into bed without waking her. But she had been called out to a B&E and was just now returning home.
It was just past 3 a.m. and Emma wondered how long Regina had tried to stay up and wait on her.
Their schedules had kept them apart for the last few weeks and tonight, well tonight was supposed to be different. But still Emma didn't feel sad as she laid on her side just watching her sleep.
The gentle rise and fall of her chest, the way her hair was not quite perfect, and just the absolute look of peacefulness captivated Emma's attention.
She leaned over and placed a light kiss on her cheek.
Emma closed her eyes knowing she would dream of her love.
