A few days later...

Regina sat at her desk tapping her pencil on it trying to do everything in her power to forget what just happened a few nights before, she was in the middle of mid-terms for her winter quarter of her senior year of college, she didn't need yet another distraction but here she was thinking about him. She had been going to a college right outside of her town of Storybrooke, she lived off of campus on her own near her brother's place. It was a simple home that belonged to their father, she requested this house rather than their mother's large mansion which she insisted that Killian and Emma have so that they could start their own family eventually. Her home was only a two-bedroom house but unlike most people her age she didn't have to pay rent they owned the house all she had to take care of was her utilities and internet meaning she didn't need to work much and when she did, she usually would have a few shifts at a coffee place at her campus.

She wondered if he went to college or just had a job, there wasn't anything wrong with that of course. She started to wonder a lot of things about him.

She didn't even know his name, but he surely knew hers now. She sighed as she got up from her desk running her fingers through her hair as she walked over to a large window.

He was just so refreshing, she wasn't expecting to meet anyone her plan was to drink her sorrows and crawl back in bed. She stood there gazing out of the window showcasing the beautiful new day she thought back to what she said, yes Storybrooke was a small town but she didn't even know if they both lived in the same town, they were at the bar at the outer edge of town he could be from any of the neighboring towns.

"Okay, Regina." She sighed heavily for the hundredth time today, "Just forget about him." She spoke to herself, she left the window to stare at her reflection in a stand-up mirror in the same room, she had gone to her office space to attempt to finish up a paper for her English course. She stared at herself intently.

"Mills, you are 22, you're about to graduate undergrad with a double major in English and Political science with a minor in French you don't need this guy to ruin your focus Daniel already did that and you had to pay an extra year to complete your degree." She said sternly she shook her head and laughed a little who was she kidding if she saw him again, she would definitely talk to him.

"Carolina." She softly said lost in thought she didn't hear her sister in law knock on her door or call her name out.

"Gina, I've been hollering for you for 15 minutes!" Emma shouted as she pushed open the door to Regina's office.

"Oh my god, Emma!" Regina gasped nearly jumping out of her own skin resulting in Emma giggling at her.

"Why so jumpy?" Emma asked

"I'm not jumpy, I was just lost in thought that's all." Regina said moving back to her desk space, "I was finishing up a mid-term for my class."

"That's what had you so lost in thought?" Emma asked with a knowing smirk, Regina groaned, of course Killian told her.

"Of course, Emma, what else would I be thinking about?" she huffed

"Hmm, I don't know how about a blue-eyed rascal as your brother would call the man you met at the bar a couple of nights ago." Emma teased.

"Blue eyed rascal?" Regina asked laughing a little, yes, she was embarrassed that she had been caught but she did always find it amusing on how her older brother would treat people interested in her.

"Mmhmm, so how was your little thriller that night?" Emma asked as she made her way to a chair, "You had your brother on quit a chase." She laughed

"Ugh, I don't know, you know I'm not that spontaneous, but I just went with it, I felt so free in that moment." Regina said truthfully, she couldn't help it, Emma was the sister she never had they were close the day Killian introduced Emma to Regina as his girlfriend, but they were married now.

"Okay and that's fine Gina." Emma said, "I just want to know why you were in that bar at the edge of town, I thought you were hanging with your girlfriends for a lady's night."

"I was going to, but I don't know I just wanted to be alone." She spoke softly

"I see, so what's his name?" Emma asked

"I don't know." Regina said Emma's eyes widened

"You don't know?"

"No, well I didn't really give him my real name." Regina said

"Why not?" Emma asked

"Well at first I told him my name was Georgia and he said his name was Carolina right after and we kind of just went with that till Killian caught us and called me by my name, so he knows my name now."

"That's it? You don't have any clue about him?"

"Well I know he works at some sort of auto shop he was still wearing his work uniform." Regina stated

"Did he look older than Killian or?" Emma asked seriously she didn't want Regina dating someone older than her brother, Regina was still young.

"No, well he looked maybe about my age maybe a year older.'

"Hmm." Emma thought for a minute which scared Regina, Emma thinking was never a good idea because usually she would try to come up with a plan or operation to intervene in Regina's life.

"Let's go find him, you needed to fix something on your car I'm sure of it." Emma spoke, she stood from her chair and was already heading out the door.

"What?" Regina shrieked, "No!"

"You're not going to touch your mid-term we both know it, you'll be lost in thought all day." Regina kept shaking her head this wasn't going to be a good idea she already knew.

"No, we aren't, you don't even know where he works Emma plus, I don't need to start dating again, it's too soon." Regina said

"It's not too soon honey, it'll never be the right time, but you shouldn't let what happened in the past affect your future, you owe it to yourself to chase your own dreams and happiness. I know that might not be with the guy you met that night but let's keep this spontaneous nature babe." Emma spoke, Regina groaned, Emma was right in a way she'd been moping these past couple of months.

"I am great at finding people as you know." Emma winked, Regina rolled her eyes

"God, I hope you know what you're doing, we can't just roll up to an auto shop without knowing what we want our car to be worked on." Regina said grabbing her purse and keys to lock up her house as she followed her blonde sister in law out the door.

"When do I ever know what I'm doing." Emma laughed, "Plus there's only like three auto shops in town, it can't be that hard to find your Carolina."

A couple of hours later...

"Okay wow." Emma said leaving the second auto shop they had journeyed to in pursuit of Regina's new spontaneous flame. "This is actually harder than I thought."

"Well duh Emma, we literally walked into those two shops not knowing what we wanted and looked creepy for just looking around at the workers, we don't have a name." Regina said crossing her arms tightly to her chest she just wanted to go home, she didn't need to look for him she'd rather just daydream about the version in her head, that could be alright for now.

"No way, we've already been to two different places, there's only one left." Emma said not leaving any room for Regina to argue, Regina closed her eyes and let out a breath, she felt a little ridiculous for doing this with Emma, she knew she meant well but what would she even say to him, she at first acted reserved but he managed to loosen her up she was carefree that night but today she was actually thinking, overthinking actually and overthinking was always going to be her own demise.

"We're headed to a Sherwood auto shop, its actually near that bar you were at, I don't know about you, but I feel good about this one sis." Emma said with a grin, Regina snorted

"You said that about the last two." Regina laughed clicking in her seatbelt, "You hush now while I think about an actual reason on why we're bringing in this car."

15 minutes later...

"Well this place looks like-" Emma started to say, "Oh my god that's him." Regina interrupted quickly as she shifted lower in her seat to hopefully hide herself from him. Emma looked over at her, "You are not hiding right now!" Emma said as she pulled up right alongside of this young man dressed in some jeans, a white tee and a typical auto shop shirt left open, Emma immediately rolled down Regina's window with a huge grin on her face.

Regina on the other hand was visually mortified, she didn't even know what was happening, everything happened so fast she couldn't even respond but she had no doubt she probably looked just as shocked as he was.

"Georgia?" the man spoke with an accent that made her stomach explode with butterflies

"Hey Carolina." she finally said when she found her voice, Emma looked from the two and could see the fireworks explode between them. And as fate would have it because of course this would happen to Regina, she saw flashing lights from one of the mirrors and groaned and slouched down even further.

"This again." Robin said chuckling raising his hands up slowly backing away from the car that pulled up to him, he looked directly into her eyes and gave her a smile that made her actually smile back rather than feel embarrassed he chuckled no doubt about the situation they were in once again, "Sorry." Regina mouthed leaving another smile on her Carolina's face but this time with dimples she hadn't noticed before.
