"It's quiet... Too quiet!"
"Will you just enjoy the moment, please?"
"I can't it doesn't feel right." Regina and David were in a large field lying next to each other on a frilly blanket, patterned in squares.
"Regina just relax." Urged David. She lay in the crook of his arm watching the giant tree above them sway in the breeze. Well... The leaves were. It just didn't feel real to her. "I can feel you tense."
"How is this happening?" She asked, her voice shaky with emotion.
"It's your sub-conscious. Letting you see what you want to see, what you want to- or should feel. So relax."
"Okay." Her voice a faint whisper. She laid her head on his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat. Regina started to hum to the beat of his heart. A song that when she was a kid, would play through her jewellery box when it was opened. She smiled at the small memory. The tune was playing in her head. It got louder, and louder, as if someone was turning up the volume. It was playing out loud. She sat up abruptly. "Can you hear that?" She asked.
"What?" David replied with slight confusion.
"That music?"
"Well of course, dear. If you can hear it, then so can I." He jumped up and held his hand out to her. She placed her hand in his and slowly wrapped her finger around his. He gently puller her to her feet and placed his hand on her hips to steady her. David took one of her hands and and held it out to the side. He took her other hand and placed it on his shoulder. He then placed his hand back on her hip. "Let's dance." He smiled. She smiled back. Her lead her in circles in time with the music, spinning her every so often making her white summer dress swirl when she twirled. The knee length material lifted every so slightly and spun until it wrapped around her legs coming to a stop when she changed direction.
"I don't want this to end." She declared. David spun her one final time but instead of pulling her back to him he dropped his hold on her and took a step back.
"Then wake up, Regina" her smile faded as the music became an echo in the distance.
"What?" She drew her brows together in confusion.
"Wake up! WAKE UP!"
Regina woke up, startled and sat up quickly on the cold stone.
David woke up, startled but didn't move, as he lay there on the cold wooden flooring of the boat. He looked around to find, Henry asleep with Snow singing to him, Emma and Killian asleep in each other's arms, Robin talking to Gold, and the mist surrounding them.
