She raised her green eyes, burning with fury, a mere breath from Regina's.
- To become like you?
Behind alcohol and hate Regina sniffed a deep pain. Way too familiar.
- I blamed the wrong people. You don't.
She grabbed the sheriff's wrist, forcing the glass down on the counter.
- It wasn't your fault, Emma.
