Elsa stared at Regina for much to long then the woman felt comfortable with. She finally cleared her throat.

"May I help you?" Regina stared at the girl intently. She seemed to shake of a haze.

"No, sorry. I mistook you for someone I used to know," the woman walked out of the room briskly.

"Rumple, who..." Belle began, but the door was quickly closed by the look her new husband gave her.

"Why did she seem to know me?" Regina questioned the man.

"You're the Evil Queen. Everyone knows you," Marian roughly told the other brunette. Regina gave her her signature death stare, then gave her own dramatic exit. If that was who Robin wanted, who was she to stand in the way of his Happily Ever After?

She just didn't understand why this had to happen, again. Every time she finally saw a Happily Ever After for herself, someone had to screw it up for her. First Snow, now her daughter. Regina sighed as she sat down in a park bench.

Why did life have to hate her so much? Wasn't it supposed to be when one door closes one more opens? (Yeah, yeah. Sue her, she listens to country music.)

Regina sighed one last time before looking around the park. She had been here for hours, it was time to head home. She smiled as she stood up. Somehow, she felt reassured. Her life might actually go her way for once.

She contemplated her change in attitude on her walk home. Wondering if it had anything to do with that new girl who just so happened to get here the same time as Marian. Was it connected? She had a gut feeling it wasn't, but it never hurts to make sure if EVERYTHING!
