*I own nothing just the plot. Adam and Eddie have that pleasure.

"Regina why don't you go riding today I'm going to be doing dull foolish things all day you'll have much more fun around Rocinante," Cora said with a smirk.

"Thank you mother." Regina said beaming at her mother's unexpected care.

"Good morning Daniel." Regina greeted dryly for Daniel was definitely an incompetent fool who lost his touch at treating for animals "can you get my horse ready"

"Yes, your highness" Daniel said annoyed he had to go do something.

As Regina sat down on the tiny hill overlooking the meadow she began to write in her diary:

I feel as if you are the only thing I can trust.

Am I so truly unlovable that no one can talk to me?

Mother feels as if it's because of lack of etiquette but I want to be loved as me, not as her.

Do you think I can ever find love? Well, I think I'm losing hope.

I must be crazy to think anyone could love me.

I'm ugly, stupid, ill-mannered, you name it I'm that.

Before Regina could finish her thoughts a screaming child on a runaway horse caught her attention. Regina jumped on her horse and chased after the girl and quickly got her off the horse.

"Are you alright?" Regina asked the girl.

"I'm fine but I'll never ride again," the child said looking at the still running horse.

"Nonsense the only way to get over your fear is to face it. I'm Regina" the older woman said holding out her hand.

"I'm Snow, Snow White, " she said taking Regina's hand.

A/N Okay this is my second story on here and just so everyone knows Daniel and Regina are not in love, Daniel is like a 50yr old asshole that Cora hired so Regina can learn to ride like a 'Lady'. Also if you have any idea's just let me know.
