The air between them was thick, full of a charge, something...was off. She resisted the urge to gulp and forced a smile on her face. The woman didn't bat an eye.

She felt like a canary under the gaze of a fat cat...

"Hi, I'm the new head nurse at the town hospital...I just arrived in town. When er," She paused to glance down at the boy next to her, "Henry ran right into me." She gave a forced laugh and watched at the cold exterior was replaced with a smile, forced but a smile nonetheless.

"Oh, you'll have to excuse my Henry here. He's a very active boy. I'm the mayor here, Regina Mills, it's nice to meet you." She held out a pale slim hand, perfectly manicured nails glinted in the light.

Shivers went down her spine the second her hand touched the other woman's.

Something sparked...


AN: Still super depressed, I'm also starting to lost interest in this fic and a few others. :(
