Maybe I should just drop a house on her. Where does one find a falling house in Maine?

"Get back here Ms. Swan! We weren't done speaking."

Emma twisted on heel and shouted back at the mayor, "Well I was and that is good enough for me."

With a huff she came back around and continued her strong stride towards her yellow bug currently parked in the Mayor's driveway.

"Ms. Swan if you continue to walk away from me it will cost you your job."

"Well then I hope you enjoy having Sidney as Sherriff. I'm sure he can handle the job and kiss your ass at the same time."

Emma slammed her car door closed as hard as she could. If she couldn't hit Regina she was definitely going to bang something around. A tapping at her window stopped her from turning the keys in the ignition.

Maybe if I start the car and pull out now I'll run over her foot. I can always say that it was an accident. I didn't know she was that close.

Letting her hand fall from her keys Emma aggressively rolled down her window.

"What?"

Regina stared at her; the tightness in the lines of her face seemed wane and then disperse.

"What?" Emma whispered this time.

"I could ask you the same question Ms. Swan. What is it exactly that you want? You already have Henry's affection, the town's love and respect. What more could you possibly want?"

"Is it really so horrible to believe that maybe, just maybe, I don't want anything? That I'm okay with how things are? That I just want for Henry and I to be happy. That I even want for you to be happy, Madame Mayor?"

A flash of hurt, a retightening of her face and Regina hissed out a defiant, "Yes."

"Well I'm sorry you feel that way. I really am. Because that means you will always be alone. Even when you have people that want you to be happy Regina. You won't let yourself just be. "

Emma looked down at her hands, one gripping the steering wheel and the other clutching at her keys; she started the car and slowly pulled away.

Maybe if I go slow enough she'll move and I won't run over her toes. Maybe she'll stop me. Maybe this fight will finally end.
