My dear Regina

I feel like I should apologise about yesterday. I truly didn't mean to upset you.

I know you heard me knocking but as I'm assuming you didn't want to talk, I took Henry to stay with my parents. I wanted him to spend the time I have in Storybrooke with you but I suppose I can understand why you felt that was not a good idea. Henry, as I have told you over text, will be returning to the mansion to stay there while I stay with my parents. I see that you are not wanting for me to be around you right now and I understand. Not that I am happy about it, because I came to see you of course. I didn't want to leave you alone. I wanted to be there for you in any way that I could be but you ignoring me… well I have to admit that it hurt. What could I do? If you had waited thirty seconds you would have heard Henry say that he is not upset at the thought of us, that he is actually quite excited.

I guess my question is… well is it me that you're embarrassed about? The thought of associating yourself personally and romantically with a dumb, blonde, uncouth orphan that puts you off? I get it. It's been the reason with others. Maybe I thought you were different. Maybe I expected too much of… no. I'm not going there. You are not that person anymore. But guess what. Neither am I.

This was not the way I wanted this to go. I'm upset I guess. I can't help but feel offended.

But on the other hand I completely get it. I met your mother. I understand.

I just want to tell you that Henry is happy that you seem happy. He said it. Those words. To my face. It got me thinking. He's right. I am happy with you. I thought we were both getting to a good place. Now who knows?
