So now we have diary entries, interaction and emails :o I have class in just over an hour and then am working until 9, so will be busy. Might update Wednesday (as my week appears to consist of all day Monday/Tuesday and Wednesday morning in class, with the afternoon and Thursday/Friday for study days.) However, my next chapter might be a reply from Regina O_O

Hi Gina
First off, I giggle every time I write your email address. You were so pissed when I set it up! I was figuring that emails would be a good way for us to keep in contact, especially since Henry told me about all the extra hours you've been working. Yeah, sense the glare.
Anyway, you can respond whenever you wish, or not at all. But first, I think I should explain. I didn't want to do this this way, but I don't think I could stand to do it face-to-face.
Around Thanksgiving, I began to get some quite serious headaches. I went to see Whale who couldn't see anything wrong, and believe me, he did numerous tests. He suggested that I was… stressed, and that it may be psychological. I know right, what a whack job. Anyway, he referred me to Archie. So I started seeing a shrink. Archie said I was having 'psychogenic pain', which I think is a load of rubbish.
Anyway. Around the same time, maybe a little earlier like Halloween, or my birthday, or when we got back from New York, I started having trouble with my magic. And then it just stopped working all together. That's why I couldn't heal myself back in Storybrooke. And I still get headaches, but they're not as bad. Anyway, Whale and Archie suggested I see a specialist, who is here in Boston. Her name is Aceso, she used to work for The Dragon. That's why I had to get away for a bit, I needed to be in a place where there wasn't any magic so I wasn't missing it you know? And I figured I could see her at the same time.
I know it seems I've been keeping all this from you Gina, but in my head I've told you everything. Archie suggested keeping a journal as type of therapy, and I've written to you every day, though I only ever sent one letter. I know this all sounds weird, but I'm telling you all this because I care about you, and I kinda just want you to know.
Does this change things between us? If this affects me and you, or anything to do with Henry, I understand. But I hope not.
I just want to tell you that I'll give you a call tonight, and if you don't pick up I'll understand.
Em.
