Thank you to all who faved and followed this story, or showed love with a reblog on Tubmlr. I hope Chapter 2 is worth the wait. Chapter 3 shouldn't be too far behind.
Much gratitude to my new friend, Chloe. Thank you for helping me get back to the heart of this story, and for allowing me to revisit every insane detail I had originally planned. Your thoughts and guidance are invaluable.
Enjoy!
She should've known there'd be trouble waiting for her at home.
Driving up to the house, she sees Leopold's car parked at the edge of the circular driveway. He must have been watching through the window awaiting her arrival because she barely has time to shift the car into park and collect her things before he swings the front door open.
She can see him working his jaw in time with his tapping foot, every nerve in his body twitching noticeably with impatience. Regina holds her breath as she exits the vehicle. He's clearly annoyed with her. Here it comes.
"Where have you been?" He barks. "I thought we agreed that you should stay home and get some rest." They hadn't agreed on anything; Leopold had ordered her to stay home until her eye was healed.
"Someone had to drive Henry to school," she retorts as she walks by him to let herself inside the house.
Leopold follows her through the front door, continuing with his lecture. "That's why we have a staff on call, Regina." He's gesturing with his hands, an obvious indication that he's losing what little calm he has left. "I already told the press that you were visiting your family in Appleton. Who saw you?"
He's clearly nervous, and with good reason. Any breath of a scandal could mean the end of his political career. Every carefully placed stepping-stone to the White House would all be for nothing if the people speculated even the tiniest bit of foul play. There would be plenty of incriminating evidence to uncover if they decided to start looking for it.
Regina manages to clear the entryway, a couple of paces formed between herself and her husband, but his legs are longer than hers. Not by much, but he catches up with her fairly quickly. She's reaching for the banister when Leopold's fingers curl around her bicep, a faint jerk of her arm stops her from climbing the stairs.
She's shaking, partially from anger, but the fear is ever present and bubbles just enough to warn her to keep her own temper in check. Snapping doesn't help; it never helps. She spins around to face him, intends to end this before it can escalate any further.
"No one saw me, Leo. I dropped Henry at school and drove around for a while. I needed to clear my head." She whips her dark frames off her face and stares up at him with a fixed glare and pursed lips. "I don't think I should have to remind you that you are not the victim today." She yanks her arm away. "Go back to the office."
She leaves him in the foyer, her heels clicking loudly and filling the silence between them, a curse from under his breath joining in.
It's only in her mind, but she can practically feel the imprint of his hand on her shirt and she wants it gone. At the top of the stairs she begins unfastening the buttons down the front of her blouse, wanting to rip the fabric and the feel of Leopold off her. She isn't going to ruin a perfectly good designer blouse because of him, but she can't stop herself from slamming the door behind her as she marches into their bedroom and flings her purse and sunglasses onto the bed.
She wants out, but instead she closes herself in. If she had only herself to worry about, she'd have thrown her hands up a long time ago, but she has Henry to consider. She's caused enough damage with her bad choices, she can't ruin his life too by breaking apart the only family he's ever known. Leopold would never grant her a divorce anyway, not while he's running for President. If a man can't hold his marriage together, how can he convince voters that he's capable of leading an entire nation? If anyone could though, it was Leopold; the master-manipulator worked around the clock, working the people and working her.
Pinpointing exactly when things started to spin out of control was difficult, though Leopold's constant reminders that she brought this on herself were an unnecessary help. It was one count of infidelity, six years ago, during the Senate elections, after months and months of long days of campaigning that turned into long lonely nights in an empty bed.
At twenty-two years old, Regina had looked around at her close friends, all of them in rocky relationships with their spoiled, rich, Ivy League boyfriends who lied and cheated without remorse. Those were not the kind of men that she wanted to waste her time on, definitely not the kind she wanted to marry, but that's what was expected of her.
Regina always did suspect that her mother had known exactly what she was doing when she had contacted her old friend Leopold after his wife tragically passed. Leave it to Cora Mills to use another woman's misfortune with a losing battle to cancer for her own benefit. It's a thought that makes her cringe now, after almost seven years of marriage, but Regina may have taken advantage of Leopold's vulnerability just as much as her mother did. Her young eyes had seen Leopold as the man who could give her the one thing she desired more than anything - freedom.
She took the internship with the 40-year-old gentleman she knew back then only as 'Mr. Blanchard,' and as time went on she found that she enjoyed his company, and the company of his young daughter. It was clear that her presence in his office served more than the estimated professional purposes.
Leopold's charm was what ended up winning Regina over. Regardless of their eighteen-year age difference, Regina felt as if Leopold really cared for her and wanted to give her a happy life. She fell in love and at first they lived a charmed life.
She was Leopold's young bride by age twenty-three, married for only two months before the touring started. Wedded bliss was so short-lived; she began to doubt all the reasons for getting married in the first place. Leopold frequently opted to check into hotels in the city instead of making the drive home, choosing to spend nights alone instead of sleeping next to his wife. Nights that, for Regina, dragged on, while she checked the clock every quarter hour with the TV remote hugged close to her chest, shivering in wasted lingerie, clinging to a glimmer of hope that her husband would change his mind and surprise her by just coming home and spending the night with her. He never did.
An affair hadn't been the solution, it wasn't something she had planned and certainly wasn't her idea of retribution, but it happened and the dream life she signed up for turned into a nightmare from which she never wakes up.
Looking around the room, she spots the broken vase on the floor in the corner where Leopold had thrown it last night. She stares at it. She knows that nothing she did justifies Leopold's actions towards her, but she can't juggle all the emotions. Last night guilt had won out, but now it's exhaustion. Exhaustion and disgust. At herself for being weak and at Leopold for making her feel weak.
She can't stand to look at the vase for another second, can't stand to be in this room. Everything holds a reminder of each time her husband lashed out at her, each time he offered her an apology in the form of an expensive gift, buying back her affections and bartering for her silence.
Her hand trembles as it grips the door jamb of the connecting master bath, steadying herself there while she hooks a finger between the arch of her foot and the strap of her high-heeled shoe. The shoe slides off, granting her instant toe-curling relief as it lands on the floor, toppling onto its side. The other shoe comes off the same way and it clunks against the bathroom tiles in front of her. She absently nudges it with the side of her foot until it reunites with its twin on the bedroom carpet.
All she wants is a nice long bath – a relaxing soak in hot water where she can sink into up to her chin or completely submerge herself, drowning everything out. She'll stay there until her skin is bright pink and the tips of her fingers have pruned. She could stay there until it's time to get Henry from school. To hell with this completely worthless day.
Three twists of the faucet handle has water spilling from the tap into the deep freestanding tub. She pours a generous amount of honey-vanilla scented oil into the splashing stream. The fragrance is warm and inviting, lightly tickling her nose with its sweet aroma. She breathes it in as deeply as her lungs will allow. When she finally exhales, tears fill her eyes, but she refuses to shed even one more.
It's like a bolt of lightning when she remembers the card from the man at the gun shop. The simplicity of the so-called business card had piqued her interest, but it was too risky to have the number show up on the phone bill and have Leopold trace it, so she never made the call from the safety of her car. It was a good thing she didn't because there may not have been enough time before she got home to make the private call and had Leopold seen her on the phone when she pulled up...she didn't want to think about it.
Finding him waiting for her had been a surprise. The man was a self-proclaimed workaholic who only makes time for his family when there's a photo op for the local newspapers. He never spent time at home during the day if he could help it. He certainly never popped in just to check on her.
It was apparent, especially after last night, that his behavior was becoming more impulsive. This new unpredictability could prove to be dangerous.
The mirror hanging on the bathroom wall reflects that truth for her as she catches a glimpse of the dark bruising on her face. She knows she has to do something. This can't happen again. There can't be a next time.
Soft steady footfalls carry her toward the bed and her purse, hasty fingers going to work seeking out the crumpled card. She finds it partially wrapped around a tube of lip gloss. She feels her blood chill within her veins for an instant, heart stuck in her throat. Then comes the little push of adrenaline she needs to help her follow through and she reaches for the cordless phone on the nightstand.
She presses the call button then listens to the dial tone echoing from the holes in the ear piece, letting it buzz on and on, mesmerized by the sound. Seconds tick away while she inspects the buttons on the dial pad, the lines and points of each number, the cracks between plastic and rubber, until it all goes blurry and shapeless under her gaze.
She doesn't know how long she sat there under the trance of her own thoughts, wondering whether she's trying to talk herself out of this or if she's working up the courage to set her plan into motion. Her mind is a tangled mess. Should she or shouldn't she? What does she even plan to say to this man – this Robin Locksley – who sells guns under the table and "can show you how to use it properly?"
Curiosity and self-preservation prompt her fingers into movement. It's like she's on auto-pilot when her thumb finds the first digit and firmly presses down on the keypad. Then she's reading the following numbers on the card and pressing them into the phone one by one, and the call is connecting. It rings through once and she almost hangs up, but then the second ring comes and she's still on the line. Her heart beats wildly, her hands shaking so much it's difficult to hold the phone. Her mouth is dry, making her tongue stick to the roof. She takes a deep breath to stave off the nauseous feeling that's rising up high in her stomach.
A male voice answers on the fourth ring with only a declaration of his last name, "Locksley."
Regina's heart is pounding – she can't breathe, can't speak. She pulls the phone away from her ear and stares at it with dread. She's making a mistake, this is insane.
"Hello? This is Robin Locksley."
He has an accent, a faint one. British. She still can't respond.
"Hello?" He's starting to sound irritated, "Hello?"
Like a petrified teenager making a prank call, she disconnects the call without saying a word. The phone is returned to its base next to the bed and she puts the card away in the top drawer of the nightstand before withdrawing herself back to the bathroom.
It's just as she's releasing the clasp of her bra and allowing the tiny black straps to slide down her arms that she catches her reflection in the mirror again. The lacy garment falls onto the heap of clothes she'd already discarded. She steps over the pile as she moves slowly toward the framed glass. Her palms rest on the marble countertop, supporting her as she leans across the smooth surface. She tilts her head this way and that, allowing her eyes to roam over every angle of discolored skin.
Leopold had never left visible marks like this on her before. He was strategic with his placement, usually on her arms, so that her blouse could hide the little spots where his fingers would dig into her flesh. Sometimes her thighs felt the sting of his anger, or her back, if she turned to get away while still within throwing distance. She didn't know if those marks were worse than the invisible scars her left on her soul; the kind of scars that never truly heal.
The floor tiles are cold and slippery beneath her bare feet. A chill runs up her legs, along her spine, into her scalp. Steam rising from the scalding water filling up the porcelain bathtub is fogging the mirror, and she stares blankly at her form fading in the white mist blocking the glass, unable to look away as her mind pulls her away again, back to the night before.
. . .
It was an important night on the Senate calendar, requiring Leopold to give a speech at the Maine Sustainability Conference. Regina would of course be accompanying him to the event center with an effortless smile, unwavering support, and endless adoration.
Her hair was done and makeup looked flawless, as always. She was making sure of that detail, studying herself in the full-length mirror, checking the shadows above her lashes were blended enough when Leopold glided up behind her.
"You look wonderful tonight." He tugged up the zipper on the back of her strapless dress. He pressed a kiss to her neck and another on her shoulder.
She watched him in the mirror, watched his hands settle above her hips and squeeze gently at her waist.
"I've always loved you in black." His voice was low, but not quite a whisper, signifying the slow build of his arousal.
"We'll be late if you don't hand me my earrings and go put on your tie."
"We have time." He turned her around and pulled her close, fingers firmly pressing against her lower back. He moved his hands up, his fingers hooking around her elbows to draw her arms up to his shoulders. He ran his fingertips to her hands, urging her to lock her wrists behind his neck. When she did, his touch found its way back down to the swell of her bottom, thrusting their hips together, and she could feel him straining against her crotch.
Pressing a chaste kiss to his lips, she tried to push away. "I'm going to put on my earrings and freshen my gloss now that you've ruined it," she smiled, trying to reach around him for her diamond studs on the dresser. "Go say goodnight to Henry and I'll meet you downstairs."
Had she been paying more attention, she would have noticed the frustration enter his eyes, but she didn't want to see it and she wouldn't until later.
Leopold left, his gait a bit stiffer than when he had come in, but he left quietly. To her delight, she found him in Henry's playroom when she went to say goodnight to her son. It was a rare sight, but there was Leopold, in one of the small wooden chairs next to the Lego table, aiding in the construction of some grand fortress. Henry stood next to his dad, showing him where the watchtower should be built. Regina's heart couldn't help but swell as she observed from her place in the doorway, wishing that these little bouts of bonding weren't so few and far between.
Before leaving for the night, she reminded Henry's nanny Ivy to have him in bed by eight; he's a sweet talker and they both know he will try to stay up past his bedtime. Ivy's messy blonde topknot bobbed along as she nodded and promised that Henry wouldn't give her any trouble.
Regina hugged her little man tightly, leaving a quick kiss on the top of his head as he jetted across the room, tugging on Ivy's hand and pulling her with him.
"We have to play Peter Pan!"
She backed out of the playroom, smiling at the sight of Henry standing on top of his toy chest with a foam sword, getting ready to leap into the air, Ivy reminding him to "think happy thoughts" and pretending to sprinkle pixie dust above him.
She was laughing as she and Leopold descended the stairs, commenting on Henry's wild imagination. If only she hadn't stopped. If only she didn't turn back to get her forgotten clutch from the entryway table. If only she hadn't taken a minute to double check that she had everything she needed. If only Leopold hadn't picked up that day's newspaper, which had been waiting for him on the same table in the entry hall.
But she did and he did. He picked up the newspaper and kept walking, leaving her checking her bag just inside by the front door, his eyes scanning the columns for his own name as he ducked into the back of their waiting vehicle.
The early evening air had cooled with the setting of the sun, remnants of winter not quite giving way to the warmth of spring. Regina breathed in deeply as she stepped outside. Something about the change of the seasons made her giddy, had her looking forward to weekends spent biking and playing baseball with Henry. It would be crucial to give him that sense of normalcy in the upcoming year, especially if the elections were to go in Leopold's favor. When she climbed into the back seat of the SUV to join Leopold, she sensed that his disposition had shifted. He wasn't happy. She could see it on his face, and there was nothing she could do but steel herself and try and distract him.
"Did you remember to bring your speech pages?" Her voice remained light and even, but they both knew it was a well-practiced approach to avoid setting him off.
She couldn't imagine what had happened to sour his mood in such a short span of time, until she saw the newspaper crumpled on the floor of the car. The headline was creased right through the middle, but the face in the photo beneath it stared up at her with a smile she would recognize anywhere – Daniel Colter.
"Did you know that he was back in town?" Leopold breathed out forcefully, his question sounding more like an accusation.
"How would I have known? I'm as surprised as you are."
"I don't want you anywhere near him."
Her brow creased. "Why would I? I have no reason to see him." She smoothed her dress down over her legs to keep from clenching her fists in the same way Leopold was clenching his at his sides.
His voice lowered. "Don't play dumb with me, Regina."
"If you insist on bringing this up again, can you at least wait until after I've finished promoting you to the public?"
In those dragged out moments between her snapped retort and Leopold's response, she felt caught somewhere between brave and cowardly, and she hoped he didn't see her slight flinch when he raised his hand to brush her hair away from her cheek.
His hand moved to cup the back of her neck, fingers pressing recently cut fingernails into her skin as he held her in place. "I'm sure you'd still win the Academy Award for tonight's performance, my love."
It was a venom-laced compliment. His thumb stroked her exposed collarbone. Regina wasn't quite willing to back down, didn't want to allow him the satisfaction of having the final word. She knew that Leopold wouldn't want to push things out of proportion - not right before they were going to be put on display in a communal setting in less than twenty minutes. He'd save it for after the public appearance. Still, this little routine of theirs required a certain level of choreography and it was time for her move.
"Years of training, dear husband, and I only have you to thank."
The clicking of camera shutters broke through the silence that had descended on the car. Arriving at the Civic Center in Augusta, a row of flashing lights greeted them. Regina was already annoyed by the pomp and circumstance surrounding the event. Thankfully, Leopold was in no mood to pose for the press either, so all Regina had to do was take his arm and smile until they managed to bridge the gap from the SUV to the open doors of the auditorium.
Inside, she was seated with Mallory Spencer, whose husband Albert is a House Representative and one of Leopold's biggest supporters. A well-kept trophy, Mallory worked just as hard as Albert during campaign season, and she was working her tongue tonight, wagging it incessantly with the latest gossip about each politician.
Her bright red lips hadn't stopped moving from the time Regina sat down at their table and as much as Regina adored her friend, she was not really interested in hearing the latest rumors flitting around their social circle. She humored the chatty blonde for a while, raising her brows and quietly gasping when reaction was warranted. Too often, she glanced at her watch to check the time, fully knowing that the night was far from over. She felt a small bit of relief when Leopold was introduced, but when his speech was rounding to a close she knew the floor would be open to sponsors and residents once he surrendered the microphone.
At 7:56, she discreetly sent a text to Ivy, asking if Henry was in bed yet. Ivy replied back with a photo of Henry and herself propped against the bed pillows with a book of fairytales. Seeing Henry's droopy eyes served the purpose of putting a genuine smile on her face.
The conference ended two hours later and she was able to kick off her shoes in the back of the Tahoe and relax into the seat, too tired to remember why she had been on edge the whole time. Leopold's arm slipped around her, pulling her to lean against him, had her remembering, but she couldn't recall which one of them had left the car earlier with the upper hand. She'd have to play it safe. He tilted his head down to look at her.
He spoke softly. "You're not still angry with me, are you?"
Her guard was up. He didn't care whether she was really angry or not, but she was so tired and the last thing she wanted was a fight. Her lips stretched into a weary smile before she answered, "all is forgiven. I know how much you love me, and I love you too."
It was a well-practiced line, nothing more. There was no truth in it. Tears stung her eyes, and she prayed he hadn't notice the way they glistened when the headlights of a passing car shined into them.
"That's so good to hear, my darling." He was still holding her, almost possessively, and slowly tracing figure eights along her upper arm, "I really need you to be on my side right now. I don't think I would be able to focus on my work while I'm away in Washington, if I thought you needed supervision that I could not provide myself."
"Supervision?" Regina jerked against him, eyes burning as she looked at his smug face. "I'm not a child, Leo."
"No, you're not, and that's why I'm surprised you don't know better sometimes."
Anger blurred her vision. She was hyperaware of her pulse hammering against her skin. She counted to ten before blinking him back into focus. She hated how he was looking at her and she forced her gaze away, leaning back against the seat and crossing her arms over her middle.
Leopold's voice went hollow. "I gave up wondering, a long time ago, if Henry is really my son, Regina, but it still hurts me ... It hurts me to think that he may not be."
"And there it is." She gnawed on the inside of her cheek, eyes fixed on her reflection in the dark tented window.
"I only want reassurance that I have no reason to worry about your old," He paused, wanting to choose the most neutral word to define her relationship with Daniel, "Acquaintance ... while I'm so far from home, that's all."
"You have nothing to worry about." She'd ground out the words through clenched teeth, wouldn't look at him, hated him again for the way he held this single count of indiscretion against her yet unable to blame him anymore then she could forgive herself.
They shared twenty long minutes of silence and staring out into the darkness, eyes catching blurred dashes and orange reflectors along the highway. When the SUV finally came to a stop in front of their home, Regina looked over her shoulder to find that her husband had fallen asleep.
The driver opened the back door for her and she stepped out, not bothering to wait for Leopold. Once inside, she'd ventured up the stairs to check on Henry. He looked so angelic, sleeping on his side with his palms pressed together and tucked under his cheek. She'd slipped out of his room quietly, moving two doors down to find Ivy curled up on the lounge in the study.
"Hey," her voice was barely above a whisper while her hand gently touched the girl's shoulder to rouse her. "We just got in. Would you like a ride home?"
Ivy smiled and stretched until she was sitting upright and gave a long yawn before she could answer, "No, I'll be okay, thank you. Sorry, I didn't mean to fall asleep. Henry was out like a light by 8:03."
Leopold stalked in with a drink in hand, thanked Ivy for staying so late, then told Regina he would wait up for her. He'd clutched her arm a little too hard when he leaned in to kiss her temple and she knew that meant he wasn't going to let her off the hook tonight.
By the time she escorted Ivy out, set the security alarm, and made it back upstairs, Leopold had finished his first drink and was refilling his glass to the rim with more bourbon.
She closed their bedroom door and began removing her jewelry. Next, she slipped out of her heels and scooped them up to put them back in their place in the closet. Leopold put down his glass, already empty for the second time.
"Don't you have anything to say?" He asked.
She stopped and turned to look at him only long enough to say, "No. I'm tired of talking in circles," before retreating into the closet.
"Perhaps you'd stop going in circles if you just admitted the truth."
Her hands squeezed angrily at her shoes and she whirled around so quickly her hair slapped against her face. "Why don't you just demand a paternity test if you refuse to believe me?" She met him in the middle of the room, standing toe-to-toe, her face pushed up to his. "Why keep holding it over my head the way you do? Would you love Henry any less if he didn't share your DNA? Would you ask for a divorce if you found out I'd been lying to you all this time?"
Her voice began to crack as she used up more and more oxygen with her lengthy outburst. "Let's just get to the bottom of this right now, Leo, because frankly, I don't care about the public's opinion of my character being destroyed, not nearly as much as you do. So why don't we just settle it with a blood test?" Her lungs had run out of air by that point and she gasped to catch her breath.
He had pulled back while she ranted, but now he closed in on her, raising his voice as he yelled back. "Unlike you, I have integrity." His hands grabbed her arms, clenching tight enough as he pulled her flush up against him that she dropped one of the shoes she'd been clutching. "I want to believe it when you say you're sure he's my son."
The smell of bourbon was heavy with each of his expelled breaths, the stench made Regina turn her face away in disgust. His right hand seized her jaw, pulling her face back toward him. Regina squeezed her eyes shut, twisting her arms to press against his chest, trying to pull back, but he managed to hold on, bringing his arm around her waist.
"Look at me, God damn it!" He'd bellowed with no regard for their son sleeping down the hall.
"Keep your voice down," she warned him, "or you'll wake Henry."
His arm held her against his torso with enough pressure that she could barely take a breath and it scared her. She knew what that look in his eyes meant. It appeared there quicker now than it had any time before.
She tried to push against his chest again and wiggle out of his grasp. They pushed and pulled against each other, both grappling for leverage, both struggling to get the upper hand. Leopold's face was red, his cheek sweaty as it pressed against her forehead. They were both shaking with the rage coursing through his body.
"Take your hands off me, or I swear to God-" The threatening bite she'd hoped to deliver this statement with wasn't there. She thrust her head up and locked her eyes on his, trying to stare him down and show him she wasn't as afraid as she felt.
"You swear to God, what?" He latched onto a handful of hair at the back of her head and pulled so hard it caused the bones in her neck to crack audibly.
That was her cue. "Please, just let me go. I'm sorry. Please, don't ... please ..." Her voice faded, turned into soft whimpers as she started to cry.
When he did let her go, it was with a hard shove. Her foot landed and rolled on the shoe that had fallen from her hand at the start of their scuffle. She stumbled away from him, body twisting, and there was nothing she could do to stop herself from falling face-first onto the armrest of the settee in front of their bed.
Her brow bone caught the brunt of the impact on the wooden edge. She cried out and hissed, impulsively clamping her hands over her eye to apply pressure to her throbbing face. She stayed on her knees, hunched over, until she felt Leopold put his hands on her shoulders. At his touch, she jumped and quickly crawled around the side of the bed.
His voice was still harsh when he said, "Regina, I'm so sorry. Are you all right? Let me see."
She swatted him away, "Don't touch me."
"Let me look at you. Are you bleeding?"
"I'm fine. " She scuttled backwards, reaching to pull herself up with one hand grasping at the sheets of the bed.
"Goddamit Regina! Just let me look!"
He grabbed to pull her hand away from her face
"Just leave me alone!" She shoved him away from her.
That's when he grabbed the vase off the dresser and flung it at the wall in anger.
. . .
She's still in the bathroom, bracing herself against the edge of the sink, looking at the fogged up glass, her reflection gone completely. It breaks the trance and she abandons the mirror to go dip her body into her waiting bath.
There's a soft knock a few minutes later. She hears the door click open and a rush of cold air forces its way in behind Leopold. He leans against the countertop next to the sink. He looks so tired, so guilty, so weighed down by regret. At least that's what she tells herself.
He's staring at her eye. "Please forgive me." He breathes, shoulders hunching forward and he looks down, head hanging low. His eyes are now focused on his own hands. "I never wanted to hurt you."
She holds a hand out to him, squeezing his fingers in hers. He won't do it again, she promises. She can wash this one away and be clean. One way or another, he won't do it again.
I know, I know! You're wondering where Robin is hiding. He will be a real part of the story by the next chapter, I promise. Trust me, you're gonna want to stick it out for the duration of this long multi-chapter drama! Please note that this story will eventually be bumped up to an M rating (for the OQ lovey-dovey).
