Um...enjoy? Yeah, enjoy!
Gold sat at the diner drinking a cup of coffee trying to think about how to get his Belle back. Right now she was her cursed personality, someone who called herself "Lacey". Gold let out breath of frustration, he should be angry with Regina for doing this to her, but he wouldn't allow this ancient feud between them continue.
"Hello sir, my husband and I are just passing through and was hoping you could recommend something to eat." Gold looked at the curly red head and smiled politely. It seemed since the accident before he left that anyone could get into town now.
"Widow Lucas' lasagna is quite delicious." Gold pointed out as she thanked him.
"I'm Kathy and this is my husband Jethro." She introduced holding out her hand.
"Antony Gold, but everyone just calls me Mr. Gold." Gold pointed out taking her hand.
"Mr. Gold, I am not much of a pasta man, anything else you might recommend?" Jethro asked as Gold looked over the two with curiosity, there was something about them that told him to be careful.
"The chili, now if you will excuse me I need to get back to my shop. It was a pleasure meeting you dearies." It was a slight give away, but he'd saw it, they knew who he was.
"Same, have a great day and thanks for the recommendations!" Kathy turned and looked at her husband as they sat down at the table across from the booth Mr. Gold had just been sitting in.
"Whew Jill, I never thought she would curse the Dark One here." Jackson pointed out with a low whistle as Jillian nodded.
"Well, it was his master plan or something, and Jethro sweetheart, I would appreciate it if you didn't call me that." Jillian hissed as Ruby walked to their table.
"Hi, I'm Ruby, would you like any menu's or do you know what you would like?" Ruby asked with a smile looking at the couple.
"I'll have the lasagna and a glass of water." Jillian smiled back as Ruby nodded not needing to write the simple order down.
"A bowl of chili and also a water to drink, no lemon please." Jackson smirked as Ruby nodded telling them it would be a moment before walking away. Jillian and Jackson took a moment to take in their surroundings before Ruby returned with their waters.
"So, are you two new to town?" Ruby asked setting the waters down.
"Oh we are just passing through. I'm Kathy and this Jethro, however I was thinking we might stay a few days, the historical trail caught my interest when we were driving around." Jillian pointed out as Ruby nodded.
"A history buff huh? Well this town is rich with all types of interesting history."
"I'm a history teacher for a private school in Boston, they let out a lot earlier for summer break and Jet and I thought it would be fun to take a trip." Jillian explained as Ruby nodded.
"I'm not really into all this history stuff but whatever makes Kat happy." Ruby chuckled at the couple before turning as the door chimed another customer's arrival.
"Well if it isn't the Swan-Mills family." Ruby commented as Henry waved to her enthusiastically as the others gave a chorus of "hellos".
"They're kind of making us do a family lunch since we bailed on dinner." Isabel pointed out as Jillian kicked Jackson under the table and quickly nodded her head toward Isabel. Not saying anything Jackson just smirked taking a drink of his ice water.
"Well they had a wonderful date didn't they?" Ruby asked as both Mills' children nodded and gave one another high fives.
"Please don't encourage them Miss Lucas." Regina sighed with a smile as Ruby bit her bottom lip shamelessly.
"You helped them didn't you?" Emma asked in disbelief as Ruby turned to the couple who was to her left.
"Excuse me, I'm going to go check on your food, I do believe that should be just about ready to come out." Ruby hurried away as Regina took note of the couple and looked at them oddly. She'd never saw them before.
"Hello, I am Regina Mills, the mayor of this town, are the two of you new here?" Regina asked as both Jillian and Jackson nodded.
"Hey, I see Neal, I'll be right back, order my usual." Emma pointed out as she kissed Regina's cheek without thinking and headed out the diner leaving a momentarily shocked Regina, two smirking children and some curious onlookers.
"I'm Jethro Haul and this is my wife Kathy, we are just passing through your lovely town Mayor Mills." Jackson smiled as Regina nodded gathering her bearings.
"Honey, I really want to explore the trail we passed." Jillian nearly whined as Jackson played the part.
"My mistake," Jackson shook his head slightly earning a small smile from Regina. "We are staying for a short while. My dear Kat is set on knowing your town's history." Jackson spoke as Jillian gave him an award winning smile.
"I just love history and this quaint little town seems full of it." Jillian spoke as she looked at Isabel. "And who might the two of you be?"
"Oh, I apologize these are my children, my oldest Isabel and Henry." Regina introduced as Isabel and Henry said hi as they were introduced. Isabel stared at them getting the feeling that she knew them, that she'd met the couple before but just shook it off as the couple turned their attention back to her mom.
"You and your wife have a beautiful family Mayor Mills."
"Oh she's not—"
"I'm sorry, I just assumed. I apologize!" Jillian had the decency to look embarrassed.
"Not yet." Henry muttered as Isabel coughed to cover a laugh.
"Well it was a pleasure to meet the two of you. Please enjoy our town and if you need anything don't hesitate to ask."
"Thank you Mayor Mills, enjoy your lunch." Jackson commented as they watched the family move to a booth.
"Not a word, not here." Jillian hissed just as Ruby entered the dining room from the kitchen with what appeared to be their food.
