Emma,
I'm sorry, I didn't email you sooner, Henry and I went for a meal with your parents. I don't know why but it was nice. Anyway, then Henry and I watched one of those Marvel movies you and he love so much. Then I couldn't sleep and so I figured I'd do some paperwork before I remembered I hadn't told you about Henry's itinerary.
They're leaving from the school in a couple of hours and so dependent on traffic the class will get to the first museum around 11. I don't know the plans exactly, but they should finish at the second museum at around 6. They're allowed to split into groups and have some social time until 9, so I'll tell him that as long as he stays with his friends he can stay out till 9.
I don't know what Boston is like Emma, so I could do with your input here?
Anyway, I don't know your plans but I assume that you'll just make sure you're here for Sunday evening and we can all sit down together, I may even invite your parents. We'll see.
I won't expect a response for a few hours ;)
See you soon,
Regina.

What the actual fork Gina,
Don't you ever sleep? I noticed that was sent before 5AM!
And shut up by the way. I am a grown woman who wakes up at the reasonable time of 8am. 9 when I am tired. Midday on my worst day :')
I'm all sorted with coming back to SB, but I'll leave it as a surprise for you! Expect me sometime before Valentine's Day and sometime after today.
I've text Henry, and he's not up yet, so think about that. Your son, still in bed, at 6am… Anyway, he and I will keep in contact throughout the day so that I know where he is and what he's doing.
Have a good day at work, I'll speak to you later.
Emma

Subject: Really, Miss Swan?
Emma!
My name is Regina. I do not believe I gave you consent to call me by that infernal nickname. If you continue
I am mayor, Miss Swan, and in this town, a mayor's work is never done. Just because you like to waste as much of the day as possible, does not mean everyone around you does.
I would appreciate being kept up to date with the movements of my son when he is in a city I am unfamiliar with. This is the first time that he has been away from me for a night that didn't involve an evil villain trying to destroy our family and I would appreciate you taking it seriously.
Just let me know when he arrives at your apartment please so that I can relax, knowing he is safe with you.
Regina Mills. (NOT Gina).

Gina,
Sorry I had to. (not sorry).
Go back to bed, you're clearly cranky, and need to catch up on sleep.
Your favourite sheriff,
Emma.

Gina,
(I can't stop doing it now).
I'm sure Henry text you before he text me, because he knows how anal you are about stuff like this, but just thought you should know the class have arrived in Boston and are currently waiting in line to get into the Museum of Science or whatever it's called.
He said the journey was fine.
I'll let you know when I hear anything else.

Subject: As mayor…
Gina,
I think as mayor you should be responsible for overseeing the planning of school trips. You do realise that the main exhibit at the museum of science at the moment is about chocolate.
Bet he never told you that :')

Gina
So Henry's been gone most of the day now. How are you doing?
I can ask him to skype you tonight if you're missing him.
In all serious Regina, I do understand. I've hated being away from him this whole time. I really appreciate you allowing him to come on this trip and spend the night here. I know that's not something you would have allowed a couple of years ago.
So, thank you.
Emma (the current caretaker of the child we share).

Firstly, as much as you were deliberately being annoying, I have appreciated the updates. Henry did keep me informed as I told him to, but I am pleased that you felt the need to double check.
I have however, been in and out of meetings all day, including an emergency meeting with the principal of the school to inform him that I need to be informed of any out of state plans…
I do not need to speak to Henry tonight, I'm sure he's happy with his friends right now, and I'm sure he will be too tired from the long drive and day of learning. Just let me know when you are heading back. Please.
Regina.

Hey Gina.
So I just picked up Henry. He was at the arcade with Nicholas, Ava, Grace and Violet, and a couple of other boys I'm pretty sure I've never met. We picked up a pizza and he's choosing a movie.
He's fine, Gina, he had a great day, he said he'll tell all about it when we get back. I don't know when that will be yet. I'll let you know.
Have a good evening. Try not to work too hard.
We both miss you.
Yours, Emma.
