Robin and Marian had packed their stuff and left the next morning. They took the bus and walked close to the town line where they installed a small camp. They waited three days before they saw Mr. Gold approached the town line with a woman. Robin got as close as he could while Marian stayed at the camp with Roland. The women opened a jar and grabbed the big frog that was inside of it. She waved her hand around it to enchant it and whispered something in its ear before letting it loose. The frog headed directly to the town line and disappeared.

- So how do we know if your little friend is going to come? Asked the women.

- Believe me, he'll be there.

- How can you be so sure?

- Because he's already here, Mr. Gold answered. You can show yourself dearie.

Robin hesitated before getting out of his hiding spot. He slowly approached Mr. Gold and his ally, unsure.

- It is funny how love can make us do crazy things, isn't it? Said Mr. Gold with a mocking smile. You had a whole new life in front of you and yet… Here you are.

- Our little meeting at the bus stop wasn't a coincidence, was it? Asked Robin.

- Unfortunately not. I had to know if you still had the motivation to come back here and seeing your reaction when I mentioned Regina well… Let's just say it was very clear.

- What do you want? Asked Robin with a suspicious look.

- I have a deal for you... You and I both need to go back to our loved ones and I need your wife to achieve this.

- My wife? Exclaimed Robin. Why do you need her?

- My friend Ursula is going to make sure we have a magic item that will get rid of this curse on the town line. However, we need a human that has been cursed by the same person to make it work. Your wife is going to trigger the magic and at the same time get rid of her frozen curse.

- How do I know this isn't dangerous for her? Worried Robin.

- Well, I guess you are going to have to trust me, Mr. Gold replicated with a smile. Meet me here tomorrow, same time, and we'll proceed.

Robin got back to the camp where Marian was anxiously waiting for him. He explained to her what Mr. Gold had told him. "You don't have to do this Marian. It's too dangerous." Marian bit her lip and looked at Roland.

Regina entered Granny's dinner and ordered breakfast. It was the first morning this week that she wasn't feeling nauseous so she intended to treat herself. She had barely taken her first bite when Emma sat in front of her. Regina rolled her eyes. "Hello Swan, she simply said." Emma made a sign to Ruby and asked for a hot chocolate with cinnamon.

- So, she said turning back to face Regina. How are you doing?

- She told you, didn't she? I don't know why I expected her to keep a secret…

- Look, she was worried about you. Have you thought about your decision?

- Yes I have, and it only gets more confusing.

- I know you might not want any advice from me but, I gave a child away once and look where I am now? I have Henry in my life and he couldn't make me happier… Even if at the time I thought I couldn't handle it, now I wonder what my life would have been without him.

Regina stirred her coffee in silence for a moment. "If there is one thing I am certain of is that I'm not like you. Whatever you say, it has nothing to do with my mess of a life."
