"Mother I'm home" Snow said knocking on Regina's door.
The tear stains on Regina's cheeks no longer existed. She decided that crying over Robin and a relationship that had only been happening for about two weeks was not worth it. She would just send him away with a goodbye or maybe a goodbye kiss or sex she couldn't decide. But she did know he needed to leave the kingdom and go back to whatever Storybrooke was now.
"Come in Snow Bell" Regina shouted.
Snow smiled and then came into her room. She climbed up on the bed and gave Regina a hug and kiss and curled up next to her.
"I think we should trim your hair for the wedding. Would you like that?" Regina suggested. She hoped Snow would agree and she could get the hair tonight. She just wanted Robin gone so she didn't feel like doing what she wanted to do so bad.
"I love that idea! Right now?" Snow asked jumping out of the bed. Regina shook her head yes and then got out the scissors and started to cut. It wasn't short by any means just a trim and it looked so different even though barely an inch off.
"It looks amazing huh Snow?" Regina asked.
Snow shouted and said yes yes yes! That's when heard the dinner bell. Regina told Snow to go and she would catch up. Regina started to gather the hair she threw it all away except for a chunk of it. Regina went up to the mirror and she cut just a little bit off. You can barely notice. She touched the rest of the hair there and she let that sweep in between her fingers. She laid the little chunk right next to Snows. She stared at the hair. She didn't want to do this. She didn't want him to leave. But, she knew he had to leave.
"Problem Dearie?" Rumple popped up out of now where and scared the shit out of her. She got up and ran to the door and closed it.
"the problem is you popping out of nowhere like you always do.. did." Regina sighed yes there was a problem but the problem wasn't with Rumple she could handle him. The problem was that she is madly in love with Robin and Leopold and a little bit of love still remained Daniel yet she didn't fully feel it.
"Should I come back when you aren't trapped in your own little mind." Rumple asked getting antsy.
"Calm yourself Rumple. I have the locks of hair but shouldn't Robin be in here to do this?" Regina asked once again questioning Rumples methods.
"Dearie. I once had the love of my life in my grasp but then I messed up and let her marry another man and I still expected to be with her. We broke each others hearts and I don't think I'll ever have that passion and angst again. Yes I will love again just not like that. So before you do anything remember this. When It Comes To Love, Be Selfish."Rumple gave Regina a vile of some potion and took the hair and was gone.
Regina sat on her bed. A million things running through her head. She heard a knock. If it's Robin she'll go with him. If it's Snow she'll stay.
"Come in!" Regina shouted.
"Hey"
