A/N: Of course, it wasn't just one letter, no one becomes perfect overnight, right? Well, except for Regina, who was perfect at birth :-).


Emma had been diligently reading Regina's secret notes and trying to fulfill each request to improve herself as a girlfriend. But she was struggling to do it without Regina catching on. Every morning, Emma made sure to make the bed perfectly, fluffing the pillows and tucking in the sheets. She even practiced her toothpaste technique to avoid any mess on the bathroom mirror.

However, she had the hardest time trying to get rid of her morning coffee slurping habit. Emma tried to drink her coffee quietly, but it was no use. She couldn't resist the temptation to slurp it loudly, causing Regina to glare at her from across the table.

"What's wrong?" Emma asked innocently.

"Oh, nothing," Regina replied, rolling her eyes. "I just love the sound of you slurping your coffee."

Despite the challenges, Emma continued to try her best to fulfill Regina's requests. She even made sure to clean her clothes right after wearing them, but sometimes she forgot and ended up with a pile of dirty laundry. One day, Regina came home to find Emma frantically stuffing clothes into the washing machine.

"What's going on?" Regina asked, amused. "Oh, nothing! Just some...uh...creative laundry sorting!" Emma replied, hoping Regina wouldn't notice the pile of clothes that had been there before.


Dear Wishing Well,

It has been a few weeks since my last letter, and I must say that I am pleasantly surprised by Emma's progress. While she still has a long way to go, she has shown improvement in two particular areas that I previously mentioned.

Firstly, she has been making the bed every morning without fail. I must admit that I was a bit skeptical at first, but I can now confirm that she has been doing it precisely as I instructed her. The sheets are neatly tucked in, and there are no wrinkles or creases anywhere. It's almost as if she's been practicing it for years.

Secondly. there are no more toothpaste stains or strange shapes on the glass, which has been a huge relief for me. I no longer have to clean the mirror every morning before leaving for work, and I can't tell you how much time and effort that has saved me.

Of course, there are still other areas where Emma needs to improve, but I am happy to see that she is trying. Who knows, maybe there is hope for her after all.

I will continue to keep you updated on her progress, and I hope that she continues to surprise me with her newfound sense of responsibility.

Sincerely,

Regina Mills


Emma couldn't stop smiling after reading Regina's secret letters. Knowing that her efforts to improve were appreciated by her girlfriend made her heart swell with happiness.

As Regina sat on the couch reading a book, Emma couldn't resist walking up to her and wrapping her arms around her neck, snuggling into her warm embrace.

Regina looked up, surprised but pleased by the unexpected affection. "What's gotten into you?"

"Nothing," Emma replied, grinning from ear to ear. "I just love you so much."

Regina smiled, still unsure what had brought on this sudden burst of affection. But she couldn't resist the warmth and love emanating from Emma, so she leaned in and gave her a sweet kiss on the lips.

As they pulled away, Regina noticed the twinkle in Emma's eye and couldn't help but ask, "What are you up to, Miss Swan?"

"Nothing, just happy," Emma replied, still smiling brightly.

Regina raised an eyebrow but decided not to press the issue. Instead, she wrapped her arms around Emma's waist and pulled her in for another kiss.

Emma couldn't help but think that this was the happiest she had been in a long time. And she knew that it was all thanks to Regina's secret letters, even if she couldn't reveal the truth to her girlfriend.
