Her heart beats like crazy when her hand touches the door and she knocks lightly. Her whole body is trembling from impatience, fear and hope. Hope, that this man she has no memories of will help her to remember who she is.

Two years ago, Regina got into an accident, after which all her memories were just gone. Her family tried all sorts of ways to help her to remember; they brought her to the best doctors, did exercises, told her about her past million of times, but nothing helped. Her head was empty.

It was – is - a real misery. She lives with a boy who is supposed to be her son, she has friends who are visiting her every day but she feels like she is all alone in this world. She is suffocating among these people who aren't familiar to her.

That's why she's standing in front of her ex-boyfriend – or a man who once was very important to her and Henry – doors. She's not sure if he was just a boyfriend or something more, Emma told her that they have never been very open about their relationship, but the blonde was sure that if there's a chance for Regina get her memories back, that man is the only opinion left.

It feels strange to be here. She doesn't even know the reason why they broke up. Henry said that they had a huge fight, but since he'd been a child, no one had told him the real cause. He also said that after a few months Robin married another woman and they had a child but that was all he knew.

It took Regina a lot of courage to leave a small and peaceful town where she lives and travel all the way here to see him.

There's a possibility that he doesn't want to see her. He may hate her.

The opening of the door snaps her out of her thoughts, making her take a step back. Her breathing is heavy, her mind is a mess. She still has time to run away, she can-

"Regina?"

A very surprised voice makes her open her eyes – she'd not realized she's closed them – to find a man standing in the doorway. Regina swallows hard, unconsciously playing with her fingers as she looks at the man with ocean blue eyes wide opened as he stares back at her. He looks like a man in the photo that Emma showed her before coming here. Yes, it's him.

All of a sudden she's in his embrace, wrapped tight in his arms. She lets a gasp of surprise escape her, that was completely unexpected but she cannot say that she really minds. Yes, she doesn't remember this man, but he's making her feel something good, something what she hadn't felt since the day she woke up after that accident.

"Are you Robin of Locksley?" Regina asks when the man releases her from his embrace. He frowns at her, and she cannot help but feel stupid: they were in a relationship, they shared a life together for years and now she's asking if he's really that man. But as stupid as it sounds, it needs to be done because she cannot risk and get mistaken, tell her story to some stranger who may not be the right man, just very similar.

"Of course, who else could I be?" He answers with a humorless laugh and that surprised and relieved expression is gone from his face. "What are you doing here?" He asks then, his eyes narrowing but there's still shock written all over his face. It looks as if he doesn't believe that she's actually here, but, on the other hand, who would expect to see their ex-girlfriend on their doorway after five years?

"I need your help." She says softly, hesitantly even.

Robin tilts his head, obviously interested in her words, "What kind of help do you need from me?"

His words make her wonder again, what has happened between them. Was it her fault? Did he cheat on her? Did she cheat on him? What make them break up after years of living together?

But now it's not a good time to think about what happened in the past and what she cannot remember because Robin is waiting for her answer with an arched eyebrow and curiosity, and… sadness.

She needs to find out what really broke them apart.

"I have amnesia," She finally states.

Robin is shocked. His eyes wider and his mouth opens slightly as he exhales. It makes Regina look down at her hand; he's not the first who reacts like that, and for some reason it makes her feel uncomfortable.

"You should come in," He must have sensed her uneasiness – of course he did, they lived together, he should know her pretty well – and opens the door wider.

For the first time that day she smiles at him. He returns the smile, and gestures for her to come in.

The conversation between the two of them is not developing as easily as it could, there's a lot of silence and thoughtfulness. She tells him what happened to her, tells him that she doesn't remember anything, doesn't remember her son, her friends and it's driving her insane. She tells him that he's her last chance because they tried everything, every kind of medicine and exercises, but nothing helped. She doesn't forget to ask him what happened between them, why they parted ways, but Robin assures her that there will be plenty of times to talk about this awful story.

And she trusts him.

Her brain doesn't remember this man, but her heart does. That feeling in her chest is telling her that she should trust him, that she should give up everything and just trust him. And it's crazy, knowing her situation but she feels it.

He tells her that he'll be more than happy to help her, assures her that he's going to tell her everything about them, even the worst things, he will do everything in his power to help her get her memories back. And she believes him.

When he stretches his hand out for her, she takes it and feelings that invade Regina are a surprise even to her. He smiles at her and starts telling her the love story she doesn't remember. He starts from when they met, tells her as much details as he remembers and she thinks that yes, maybe she's remember something, and the more he tells, the happier she is because she will remember, she knows.

But it's just an illusion because no matter how hard she tries, her memories never come back.
