Regina's p.o.v

Mayoral duties demanded my full undivided attention. I left Avalon alone at home. Avalon said

via sign lanuage that she might visit Rumple's shop. I trusted Avalon to protect herself. I never

expected she would end up missing. Rumple and I formed a search party. We discovered our

daughter in the woods. She claimed nobody led her here. She wanted to do a little bit exploring.

I thank God for Ava's guardian angels because they kept her safe. I believe my father is among

them.
