Lying under the sun, only wearing their panties and letting their skin dry, the two women laughed. They spent the rest of the morning kissing, caressing each other and talking. Regina wondered since when she hadn't felt so good. "So, I've told you about Daniel." Regina spoke softly, starting a conversation that the blonde was sure she did not want to have. She turned her face and stared at the brunette. "What about you?"

"What do you mean?" the other questioned. She knew what Regina wanted to know, and yet it she felt like she needed confirmation to speak about it. She found it a silly question. She had not had a True Love, that did not exist in her world. Until a few days before, she has always thought fairy tales we're not real, how could she believe in true love?

"Did you have a True Love?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Well, I've observed you. You did not doubt to come with Henry to Storybrooke, which is strange. You have a job there, and possibly a superior. Won't you be fired? And as far as I know, you have not called anyone to tell them that you are here, or that you will come home soon." Regina spoke, hands taking Emma's and caressing them. "But still, somewhere in your eyes there is grief and loss. Did you lose someone? Why are you alone?"

"I've always been alone."

"That can't be true. No one is alone… we all find someone to love us at some point."

"That's rich coming from the Evil Queen."

"Oh, shut up." the woman laughed, sitting up and then moving. In her new position, she was sitting on top of the blonde, her crotch pressed against her lover's thighs. Emma grinned and sat up, wrapping her arms around the woman's body and holding her close. A part of her hoped that having sex now avoided having to explain about Neal. The brunette held onto her neck and placed a soft kiss on her lips. "Even the Evil Queen fell in love once."

"Before she was the Evil Queen. And look what it got her."

"Touché."

"But there was this guy once, Neal."

"What happened with him?"

"He left."

"Oh, okay."

"We were young…" she started, letting out a sigh. She'd have to explain the whole story now. "I had lived in the streets for almost a year, stealing everything I needed to live. One day I was trying to steal a car, and he had the same idea. I felt a connection with him immediately, and so we started to hang out. We were together for a long while... Years, maybe. We even talked about becoming normal people and have a house in Tallahassee."

"And I guess that didn't work?"

"Obviously."

They fell silent, Emma looking away for a few seconds. Regina smiled sadly, cupping her face with one hand to make her look at her again. Staring at these green eyes that made her heart melt, the brunette couldn't help but kiss her. Emma's lips still tasted like her, and Regina's mind immediately went to an hour ago. How many times she had climaxed, she still didn't know. "Are you alright?"

"Yeah. I just really want to forget him, but–"

"It's impossible." Regina finished the sentence with a nod, knowing how the other felt. Even if their cases were different, somehow she simply knew what Emma felt like. She let out a sigh and kissed the woman's neck gently, as if to soothe her. "We should start heading to the cabin…" she whispered with slight sadness. She was sure her question had ruined the mood, even if she just wanted to know about the woman. She had always been curious, the kind of person who tried to know more about others. But usually it was by observing from the distance, she was not good at small talk.

"We should." Emma nodded and gave her a quick kiss. "I'm glad you were the highest bidder, by the way."

"It has payed off."

"I'm sure it has, you got the best prize."

"Dickhead."

They stood up and started putting their clothes on, brown eyes glancing at Emma from time to time. Not just to check her out, but also to let her mind wonder. How would their relationship would be from now on? Would they be friends? Would they ignore what had happened between them? Would become lovers? After all, it's the same feeling I had with Daniel, right? Maybe we have one True Love in each land, and we don't know.

"Ready to go?"

"Definitely."
