Regina Mills was walking through Storybrooke. She had her hands in her pockets and she was looking down as she walked. A few seconds later she ran into someone. She looked up and froze at who she saw.

|| Flash Back to the past in EF. ||

Regina had snuck out of the castle and was running towards town. When King Leopold and Snow would leave for trips she'd go to the tavern and watch the man she had taken a liking to. He was a fairly tall man, he had a very handsome accent, his stubbly beard only made him even hotter, and he was very dashing for a pirate. He goes by Captain Hook.

She sat at a table towards the back of the tavern. She had ordered a beer and was watching him gamble and win. She sighed softly. She thought she was bonkers for liking a man she had never even met! Oh but he was so good looking and perfect.

Regina stopped. Daniel crept into her mind. She felt horrible. Was she suppose to feel this way? She didn't know.

Captain Hook met Regina's gaze and smirked. He got up and slowly walked to her table. "What's a beautiful las like you doing here all alone?"

Regina looked up at him. "I would tell you but, I don't normally share my where-abouts with complete strangers." she stated trying to seem strong.

"Oh, a feisty one we have here." he sat down. "Lucky for you, I don't have to be a stranger." he smirked.

"Oh really?" Regina chuckled slightly. "And what makes you think I'd let you in?"

"Well you're here at the same time I am and I always catch you staring at me so I'd think you agree I'm a dashing rapscallion. Don't you?" he said with a confident smirk.

Regina smiled knowing she was caught. "Alright. Let's say I do." she leaned over the table getting close to him. "How's 'bout you show a innocent, young gal like me how a dashing rapscallion pirate spends his time?"

He looked at Regina's lips and smirked. "I suppose I can.." he stood up putting his hand out for Regina and walked towards the door.

Regina followed Captain Hook with a faint smirk.

|| Storybrooke. ||

Regina met Hook's gaze and she took a step back. "Y-You..."

Hook looked astonished. "Regina?"

Regina took another step back.

"Regina, wait."

Regina turned around and walked away quickly.

"Regina!" Hook called after her beginning to chase after her.
