Regina had stayed up until at least three a.m. waiting for Emma, but there was never a sign of her, so she had went to bed.
It was morning now, and Emma still wasn't home. Regina was freaking out. What if Emma ran? What if she felt she wasn't loved? Oh God. Emma.
Regina went about her normal morning routine; she had to go to work. She needed to get her mind off of this.
...
Regina had been at the office for what felt like a year, but it was only lunch time. She stopped working for a moment, wondering whether or not she should go out and get lunch or just trudge on until she couldn't work anymore. She chose the second one.
Regina continued to work away, sending emails to people she'd met once, typing pointless things, calling pointless people until her office door creaked open. Regina's head slowly looked up to the sound, but the owner of it still hadn't walked into her office. "Hello?" She called out.
"Hi."
"EMMA?!" Regina jumped up and ran to Emma, wrapping her arms around Emma's neck like it had been years since they saw each other. Emma happily fell into her hug, putting her arms around Regina's waist and pulling her in closer.
Regina eventually pulled back from the hug. "Where have you been? I was so worried."
Emma was a little shocked that Regina wasn't angry with her; she had left without saying anything after all. "Well..." Emma had to think about what she was going to say; she couldn't spill everything just yet. "I was in Boston-"
"BOSTON?!"
"My car broke down, and I was going to call, but my phone died, and I spent all my money on getting the car fixed." Regina just stood there for a while, wordless. She finally spoke. "Why didn't you tell me?" She was serious as hell, but there was no anger or rage in her voice, just love and care.
"Well umm I - " Come on Swan, you can do better than that."With everything that's happened, I really just didn't think. I'm sorry."
Regina nodded in reply to Emma and went quiet again."Why were you even in Boston?" Emma almost chocked on her own saliva. Shit. "I needed to see an old friend; he's always been there for me ... I just needed to vent." Emma didn't completely lie; she did go and see an old friend. ... That just wasn't why she was in Boston.
Regina looked at Emma; she wasn't completely sold on Emma's story but what could she do? ... Say no sex until she tells the complete truth? That's just mean."Want to get lunch? I haven't eaten since yesterday," Emma said in a sheepish voice. "Yeah sure." Regina turned to get her bag, and they were out the door within the next minute.
...
Emma and Regina walked into Granny's hand-in-hand; it hadn't really been that long, but they both missed each other and were glad to be together again.
"Em, Regina!" Ruby yelled from the bar. "What do you guys want?" she asked as she leant over the table, exposing a little more than she should. "Hey Rubes, can we get the usual?" Ruby laughed at that. "So clogged arteries and a salad?" Ruby winked and turned walking towards the kitchen.
Emma and Regina laughed at Ruby's joke as they walked to their booth.
Both women sat, but neither spoke. For a while, it was quiet, until finally Regina let out a sigh. "I still don't understand why you didn't tell me where you were going. I was worried sick." Emma could tell Regina wasn't lying; she was shaking. "I'm sorry. I really thought I'd be back, and it just didn't occur to me." Regina was about to speak but was interrupted by the already showing Snow White.
"Emma, darling. Regina," Snow greeted as she walked up to their booth. "Told you she was alright," Snow said to Regina as she put a hand on Emma's shoulder. Emma gave a weird and confused look to her girlfriend; she had no clue what Snow was talking about. "I told you, I was worried ... so I called Snow to see if she knew your whereabouts." Emma's face dropped a little. She didn't really notice how worried Regina was. If she was calling Snow, it meant she was really worried.
"So where were you anyway?" Snow asked as she pushed Emma along the seat of the booth so she could sit. "I was in Boston."
