Regina wasn't sure what was bothering Emma but by this point in their dating she knew enough to know something was amiss. Emma was silent throughout dinner – something that rarely happened except when she was actually eating. And she had declined the chance to play Call of Duty with Henry. But the thing that really had Regina worried was that every once in a while she would catch Emma looking at her with this contemplative look on her face.

It had her concerned because she didn't know what the blonde was thinking. Ever since embarking on this relationship with Emma, Regina had been worried that one day Emma would leave her. She could only hope that wasn't the case, but she also couldn't handle this silence either.

She let it go on until they were readying for bed and she saw Emma watching her from the reflection in the mirror. She turned, "What's wrong?"

"Huh? What? Oh, nothing,"

"Emma you haven't been this quiet since you came out to your parents – a fact I actually had to say out loud because you couldn't seem to do it. So don't tell me nothing is wrong. We agreed we would always tell each other if something was wrong."

"Nothing is wrong," she insisted. "I mean it's not a big deal."

"Why don't you tell me what it is so I can determine that?"

"It's stupid. I just … I was talking to Ruby the other day and she sort of mentioned something about you and I guess it sort of got stuck in my head."

"I see. And what aspect of the Evil Queen was being talked about this time?" she sighed turning away.

"Your clothes."

"What?" she turned back.

"Um yeah, well Ruby mentioned that back in the Enchanted Forest that you um … you wore more leather. And I guess I sort have been trying to figure out what that might look like."

Regina smiled. "Yes, I had a few outfits that employed leather rather liberally."

"Um, is that something that, you know you could um show me sometime?"

Regina almost laughed at how much Emma sounded like a teenage boy hoping to get a girl to take off her shirt. She stood and snapped her fingers for flare purposes only. The purple smoke enveloped her and when it disappeared she was on display in all her Evil Queen glory.

Emma's eyes got wide and she audibly gulped.

Regina smiled as the silence stretched on and she could see and practically feel Emma's eyes pass over her, even when she circled around to give it the full effect.

"Like what you see?"

"Yes, my queen,"
