By the time the sun went down Regina and Skylar had come up with a list of people for the wolf and her pack to hunt down. Despite the fact that the two shared a passionate kiss before leaving Regina's house Skylar was all about work once they got to city hall. It was slightly aggravating for the mayor but only because she wasn't used to something like this. Someone who showed the woman enough respect to truly separate business with pleasure.
Regina let out a sigh then stretched before looking to Skylar who was folding up the piece of paper the list was on before stuffing it into her pocket. "You hungry?" ,Regina asked as she put her coat on. "I'm sorry I can't allow you to hunt down any of those men on your list tonight but I can at least buy you dinner" ,she continued. Regina could see the disappointment in the wolf's eyes and it saddened her. She placed a hand on Skylar's shoulder and sighed, "Come on, Jamie and Henry are already at the diner with your brother and Jamie's sister I figure we can all have dinner together."
"How did you know they were there when your eyes and ears in this town is locked in a crypt?" ,Skylar asked as she put her own jacket on.
The mayor let out a laugh before pulling her cell phone out and showing it to Skylar, "A little thing called communication my dear wolf, Jamie called me a little while ago. You probably didn't notice because you were quite focused on our work when I was speaking with her" ,Regina said in response before taking a hold of Skylar's hand and leaning up to kiss the wolf's cheek softly. "I promise you will get to do as you wish soon enough".
Skylar let out a sigh but knew the woman was right, after all they were working together and the wolf promised to keep her secret safe and if any more bodies showed up it would raise suspicion especially seeing as the sheriff knew that it wasn't humans who attacked the last group that was slaughtered. "Alright, let's go. I could use something to eat" ,Skylar replied before the two made their way out of the office.
When the two got to the diner Henry waved them over to where he and the others were sitting. He noticed that his mother was holding hands with the person she walked in with. The boy also noticed the smile on her face, "Who's this mom?" ,Henry asked when Skylar and Regina reached the table and sat down.
"Skylar McKayne, you must be Henry your mother speaks very highly of you" ,Skylar stated before offering the boy her hand.
Henry shook the woman's hand and smiled before looking to the menu he had in front of him. "You related to Jamie's friend Donovan? You just be since you have the same last name" ,he stated as he continued to read the menu.
"He's my little brother, hey Jamie I thought JC was here too" ,Skylar said in response while looking around for the other twin.
"She's talking to Ruby" ,Henry stated before looking to Skylar. "Hey, you okay? You look pretty upset."
"Oh...uh...yeah, I'm doing great actually, thanks for inquiring though" ,Skylar replied before forcing a smile. "How about some food? JC! Stop hitting on the nice young waitress and come sit with us, we're about ready to order" ,the wolf said loud enough for the older twin to hear her. When JC sat down at the table Skylar kicked the pup hard in the shin then glared at her before mouthing the words, "We'll discuss it later" and opening a menu.
After they were finished with dinner Regina invited Skylar back to her house for a drink and to talk a bit after Henry went to bed. The wolf agreed to it and went home with the woman and Henry while Donovan and the twins headed to the inn for the night. Skylar stayed quiet the entire ride back to the mayor's house and when they got there the wolf got out of the car and lit a cigarette before looking to Regina, "I'll be in after I finish this, I don't wanna smoke around the boy" ,she told the woman before giving Henry a smile. "You get some sleep young man, gotta be up for school tomorrow remember kid knowledge is power" ,Skylar told him. After Regina and Henry went inside Skylar took a long drag from her cigarette and blew the smoke out slowly while she let herself get lost in her thoughts.
When Henry finally fell asleep Regina made her way outside and looked to Skylar who was sitting on the porch smoking another cigarette. She couldn't tell that the wolf was crying at all because she wasn't making any noise at all. "Hey, you gonna sit out here all night or you gonna come lay down with me?" ,Regina asked as she placed a hand on Skylar's shoulder.
Skylar threw her cigarette then stood up, "Yeah, sorry, just got lost in thought. Let's go inside" ,the wolf said in response before following Regina into the mansion. As the two were making their way up to the mayor's bedroom Skylar could feel that Regina kept looking at her and when they got into the room and Regina shut the door the wolf looked the woman in the eyes. "Thank you, for helping me out. I mean it, I made the right choice when I put my trust in you. You gave me names now I owe you another favor, so, what is it that you request?" ,Skylar asked.
"For now, all I want...need is right here with me" ,Regina began before kissing Skylar softly on the lips. She stared into the wolf's eyes after she broke the kiss and wiped the remaining tears from Skylar's eyes, she had noticed the wolf's tears while they were walking into the room but didn't want to say anything until they were behind closed doors. "You will get your happy ending, just as I will get mine. I promise."
