Regina finished cleaning up the dishes, poured herself a glass of wine and decided she would read some of her book. She went out to the main room only to find Emma Swan on her couch watching a basketball game on her television.

She had managed to forget for a few moments that the other woman was in her house. There been some sort of plumbing emergency at Emma's apartment and somehow that ended up with Emma staying at her home by invitation from Henry. She had come home from work yesterday to find the sheriff in her home already and Henry asking her if it was ok that she stayed until her apartment was able to be lived in again. Regina had been trying to make more of an effort with getting along with Emma and for the most part it was going fine, but it didn't mean she wanted the woman in her house.

Regina shook her head and walked over to where her book was sitting on the end table. As she walked in front of the TV Emma practically shooed her out of the way, which only caused Regina to stop and give her a look of annoyance – one which Emma ignored as she tried to look around Regina to see what was happening.

She didn't really want to go upstairs to read and she saw no reason to since this was her house so she sat down on the chair and began to read hoping Emma would get the hint.

It was more than an hour later that Emma turned the TV off.

"If me being here is bothering you, I can stay at my parents," Emma said after several minutes of silence. Regina had kept her eyes on her book but she knew Emma had been staring at her the entire time.

"That's not necessary unless you want to stay at your parents," Regina responded without looking up.

"No, I don't really want to stay with my parents. What woman my age would ever want that?"

"It's fine that you are here. Besides your apartment will be fixed soon enough I imagine."

"If you are fine with me being here, why don't you put that book down so we can talk like two adults?"

Regina put the book partway down. "Why, because your basketball game is over? You didn't seem interested in talking during it?"

"You didn't ask me to talk during it. All you did was sit there reading your book probably hoping I would leave the room."

Regina sighed and put the book on the coffee table. "Is there something about Henry you want to discuss or perhaps some safety concern for the town?"

"Are those the only things we can talk about?"

"I can't imagine what else we would talk about. In case you haven't noticed, we don't have a lot in common."

"How do you know when you don't want to talk to me to find out? For instance, I know of at least one other thing we have in common."

"Oh please enlighten me as to what that could possibly be."

Emma stood up and approached and Regina, which caught her off guard especially when Emma leaned over the chair so they were eye level with each other.

"I happen to know that both of us have an appreciation for the female form. If you would like to discuss that any further, I will be upstairs in the guest room."

Emma stood and walked to the door before looking back at a stunned Regina. "Oh and Regina, I sleep in the nude."

Emma smiled as she walked away.
