Magnus and Henry sat by the stairs while Regina enjoying the housewarming party for Frederick and his new wife. Mary and David are happily to be together, having time of their life. The four has become fast friends.

"Why hasn't she remembered yet? Why haven't they?" Magnus asked Henry then he replied, "the curse isn't working on them yet."

"Henry, Mary actually has an amnesia," she was in coma for years, for who knows how long.

"Which is preventing the curse from replacing her fairy tale story with fake memories."

"Right," Magnus played along with him, "everyone has fake memories that prevent them from remembering who they are."

"Right. It's our chance to help them," Henry leans closer to whisper, "we have to help her remember that she's Snow White. We just have to jog her memory."

"Did we already try that?"

"David woke him up, didn't he?"

Snow smiles when she saw the man who saved her, "so you're the person who saved me?"

"Oh, yeah, I guess."

"You are also the only one I know here. I know we haven't been formally introduced when I was with David at home, but my name is Mary Margaret Blanchard."

Henry wondered if she remembered using an arrow, "do you ever use archery?"

Mary chuckled at Henry's question, "I'm sorry?"

Regina helped Abigail in the kitchen, grabbed the bowl from her, "there's plenty of food, go," Abigail is scared to be with him in order to lose him, "what if I lose him again?"

"You have a chance here. Go to him."

Abigail finally calms down, putting down the dishes in the sink then thanked her, "And Regina," Regina tilted to look at her with a smile, a sincere smile, "thank you for being a good friend."


Graham was nearly drunk and shooting darts while Ruby and few friends watch him making the perfect shoot. He was about to shoot another as Magnus grasp in little shook that Graham was in his face and in no mood to talk to him. He walked pass him and that moment angered him. Guys should be talking and going out for drinks, but for some reason Magnus is not, so he threw the dart right next to his face.

"What's the fuck?" he shot him a look; he could have injured me.

"I never miss," he slowly walked towards Magnus when he was about to leave the diner, "you've been avoiding me. I know it was you."

"I'm pretty sure that's the euphemism," rolling his eyes despite the sarcasm, "I have no interest having this conversation with you. It's my life and it's not your fucking business what I do."

"What about Chloe or Angela?

"If you don't care then why are you upset whatever the fuck I am doing."

"I am not upset, but we should be in the bar drinking," the sheriff wouldn't let it down, so I shouted at him, "so what, you like her or what's the fuck with all the jealousy?"

"I just want you to understand."

Magnus tries to avoid him while he was chasing after her and looking for a fight, "I just do not want talk about your bad relationship. It's not my fucking problem, Graham."

Graham stopped him when he stood in front of him to block him, so he'll stop walking, "I know you have issues with Regina, but she was just helping me."

"Why the secrecy? We all adults and we do whatever we want, and you what upset after one woman I have been with then what you turn to Regina?" Magnus got fed up with Graham and punched him hard in the face, and Graham grabbed him to push him back. They started a huge fight to defend their own honor. Magnus saw Graham walking out of Mayor's house, and something inside of him just clicked, so he spends the night with Chloe and Angela. I had no idea that Graham have some history with Chloe and they both liked each other. Magnus stood over him and started hitting him in the face while he was using his arms as a shield. Ruby and Granny ran outside when they heard noise and pulled the boys apart, sore and bleeding on their face. They tried to catch their breath as Ruby held him back, "okay, okay, just … fuck." Magnus walked away and gave Graham a finger.


Magnus knocked on Regina's door and Regina was already in her office when she heard the knock. She hurried to open the door before waking up Henry and saw It's Emmett, lip bleeding and his face, bruises everywhere … 'Em … Magnus?"

He's heavily panting and wet from the rain, "is Henry asleep?"

"Yes, why?"

"What's the fuck is with you and Graham? Why is he …"

Regina urges him to come inside, "come in, Magnus." Magnus thought for a moment, and he only wanted to talk, but Regina helped him to get inside. Regina led him to the kitchen and told him to sit on the tall chair at the kitchen island.

Regina knew this moment is Emma inside of him, somehow or I don't know but it seems something is making him act this way ever since he arrived at Storybrooke because he wouldn't do this at all. Always a mess though, lightly wetting the smooth cloth and little alcohol to clean the wound. Magnus was rambling about how Graham was drunk and all over him, so I softly shush him with a sweet whisper, "it's okay," while cleaning his face as he winces at the sore.

Regina considered what to say to explain about Graham because she can't say that he doesn't have the heart. Cora took his heart and it's in her vault, but her house is burnt to the ground, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was Magnus. Regina sat next to him to let him calm down a little first, then began, "Graham has been having heart problems for long time now. He was depressed so he come to me. I was helping him with his heart."

"Oh, but …" Regina stopped him from questioning her, "you were with your women so he must have misunderstood your intentions with me when you got upset as you stated he was drunk."

"You both …?"

Regina didn't say anything, this is the first time in months that he come forward in this state. Regina got up and allows herself to softly rubbing on his face with his short beard. He looked awful and completely lost in himself like he doesn't know who he is or why he's been this way, more of empty inside. Magnus looked up into her eyes to savor the moment, didn't realize how smooth her hands were, so gentle and he closes his eyes to calm his beating heart.

He opened and puzzled something, "I don't understand."

She took a short step forward with her soft voice, "what you don't understand?"

"You … Why you? Why are you …? Why … what's so important to you that quiet the voices in my head?" Why is she in my head all the time? Regina. Regina this and that, the voices that sounds like a girl in my head, talking nonstop ever since I got into Storybrooke, "everything changes once I arrived in Storybrooke. I feel …" I don't know anymore. It's like part of me is not me, like there's something missing.

Regina quietly listened to him and thought of Emma and she's fighting to find a way to reach me. Tonight, he's here and he was led here for a reason. He asked who am I, but I responded with a deep passion kisses what makes me moan and he presses for more than his hands finds its way to my ass, squeezing tighter. I am your fiancée; mother of you son and she's love of my life. I love who just as she as whether it's Emma or Emmett.


Magnus woke up panting and sweating from intense dream he had about a young blonde girl, he never met or seen her before. Regina felt Magnus jumped up from the bed, "I had the strangest dream. It was some young girl running and jumping the trees," it was bits and pieces. Regina sighs, the girl is Emma, is he remembering or being with me is getting through him, which is it, she wonders. She touches his chest and kisses on his shoulder, Magnus tilted a little with his hands on top of hers, "Go back to sleep, Magnus. It's only a dream."

Magnus couldn't sleep when he lay back down on the bed, deep in thought then looked at her again. He got up again and heard Regina sigh, more of sounding concern, "Magnus?" Magnus got his feet on the floor and decided that he has to go, or he'll end up telling her the truth. The silence is deafening, too quiet for him. Regina tries again, "you can tell me anything, honey."

"I killed her …" he got up to put his underwear on and socks. Regina didn't sound surprised by this, why is that, but instead she asked, "what happened?"

She's not mad about this or what is it she's looking for from me, I answered as honest as I could, "she threatens to kill Henry. She was saying something about a deal that has been revoked, I don't know." he looked back at Regina to read her face but all he saw was the concern on her face, and understanding, "what?"

She shook her head with a small smile, "nothing, honey," then kisses him on the lips, "you did it to protect us, so thank you." Magnus hears something else that she wants to add, "I see a but coming?"

"Well, next time, please try to talk to me first, okay?"

"That's all? You're not going to report me?"

Regina was reminded to react differently with Magnus when she thought of Emma because if Emma was here, it would be a different story. She needed to be very cautious not to push him away when he's led here. She's grabbing this opportunity to have a chance to listen and understand why he's so hard and closed off from everyone. It's first time I see him opening up even it's just few moments. I gave him a sincere smile with confidence then kisses him hard on the lips, "you can trust me, Magnus."


Magnus phone begins ringing and immediately picked up the phone, "Magnus here," it's my shift from the Sheriff, "okay, I'll be there in a few." Magnus searches for his clothes then thought of Henry, "you know Henry is wrong about one thing."

"Oh, and what's that?"

"If she's dead, should the curse be already broken?"

"I don't think that's how it works, honey."

"How do you know that?"

There's only one way to break the curse, but she wasn't sure if he believes in it, "do you believe in love?"

"No, I do not," putting his shirt on and buttoning up.

"May I ask why you don't believe in love?"

"I had someone and …," he didn't want to say anymore but realized something else, "why the fuck did I tell you that?!" Regina only give him a small smiles to distract him then hard kisses on his lips and moaning from her lips. Magnus growls silently, tempting to do this again with her but he needs to go to work, picking up his badge and police issue gun into his belt.

"You'll call me?" Regina makes sure he would call her after work and he nods, "sure, if that's what you want."


Magnus changes into jeans and white shirt coming downstairs and found flowers on the table. Snow just walked inside the loft to grab grading papers and paperwork with coffee in her hand.

"From David?"

"Good morning, Magnus," she notices his eyes, "you look worse for wear."

"I'm fine, Margaret," he changes subject again, "so what's up with the flowers?" Magnus poured orange juice in glass and thought of his previous night, Regina. What came over him? Why did he allow it to happen? He promised to himself that he would stay away from Regina.

"David was just being romantic old fool," Snow smiles in love and fixes the flower then puts it in the vase.

Margaret was surprised that there's no women this morning when he always has someone, "don't need make pancakes for your women?"

"No, went to bed alone."

"Did something happen?" Snow finds it odd; something is up then leans closer to see his small bruises, "had a fight?"

"Something like that," didn't want to give her anything or any kind of knowledge about Regina and Graham. Margaret did something unexpected for him, she apologizes and promises things will get better, "thank you … I think." David and Margaret had become sort of a parent to Magnus, always there for him and giving him advice. Margaret has offered to cook breakfast, but he declined, "no thank you. I appreciate that. I have to go to Storybrooke University to enroll fall classes and check into Madam Mayor if my scholarship still open."


Regina helped Henry into the office, then fell back asleep on the couch. Normally, she wouldn't work during the weekend, but today it's important because she needed something to distract herself from thinking of Magnus, well Emma and what happened last night. She can't stop thinking about him all night and how amazing it was. He knew all the moves that made me bit myself from screaming and wouldn't stop until I came so many times. He ate me out more than twice to force me to come, he blew my mind. Stop it, Regina talks to herself and refocusing working on the mountain of paperwork.

An hour later, Henry got up from the couch, full refreshed and yawning then looked around for mom, "mom?"

"I'm here baby," she looked up from her laptop then smiles at her son, so handsome and so much like a Charming. Henry walked over to her to give her a tight hug, Regina whispered, "I love you, my prince." He looks distraught and lets him to sit on her lap, "what's the matter, Henry?"

"Just a bad dream."

"Do you want to tell me about it?"

Henry didn't want to and just wanted to be in his mom's arms for moment. Regina kisses on top of her head then thought of an idea that would cheer him up, "how about you go to the diner and all breakfast you want?"

Henry's eyes lit up with huge grin, "all I want?"

"Anything you want baby."

"Yes!" Henry jumped down and ran out of the office without a second thought and not allowing mom to change her mind. Regina called Granny to inform her about Henry and she'll pay when she comes into the diner.

Regina resumes working until she heard a knock, "come in." She didn't think Magnus will talk to him today and felt little awkward, "is everything okay?"

Magnus wasn't sure and didn't respond for a moment, "you might want to check on Graham later. I saw him earlier and he kept rambling on about seeing a wolf in the forest. I don't know but I think his heart or whatever it is, it's getting worse."

"Thank you, Magnus. I will be sure to check on him soon. They felt the heat and passion for each other, it's still there even after years of silence, but after last night, it became dominant. Magnus hesitated again, finding courage to talk to her, "I actually come for a reason, Madam Mayor."

Regina put her pen and papers down and focused on Magnus as if he's all on her attention, "I'm listening."

"Oh fuck," whispering to himself, why is this so hard, "first, is there any changes of my suspension from university? I would like to see if I can enroll into class for fall classes."

"I don't know. I will look into it, Magnus." Magnus silently thanked her then asked about his scholarship. Regina knew that he lost his scholarship the day he got suspended. There are certain rules to maintain the scholarship, "I apologize but you lost your scholarship. You can apply Storybrooke scholarship again and I can help you."

"No, it's fine," fucking idiot. I messed up my future and where do I go from here. I shouldn't been with the professor and …, continues belittling himself. "Thank you, Madam Mayor," he didn't want to stay any longer, feeling humiliated and stupid.

Regina notices his vulnerability and stops him from leaving, her arms reach out to point at the couch, "Magnus, please, let me help."

"No, it's fine. I have to go," he ran as if the devil was after himself.


Graham continues running through the forest chasing after the wolf.

"What do you want?!"

The wolf come back and Graham pets him then he remembered his past, killing Snow White and Cora's vault which confuses him even more.

Graham hurried back to Snow White in school, cleaning and organizing her classroom.

"Mary Margaret, how long did we know each other?"

"I don't know … awhile."

Graham sat down in one of the chairs, "do you remember where or when we met?"

Margaret struggles to remember anything before, for few minutes, she was looking back to see if she remembers anything from before, "no."

"Me neither. I mean, I don't remember when I met you or anyone else." Margaret still trying to recollect her memories, but nothing is appearing as he continues, "isn't that odd?"

"I think that's normal, Graham. I think that's life and things get hazy."

Graham remembered one memory that he almost killed Snow White, "have I ever hurt you?"

"No, of course not. What's going on?"

"Do you believe in past lives?"

Margaret sighs and knew where this was coming from, "you have been talking to Henry."

"Henry?"

"He has book of stories. He has been going on about how we all characters from them from another land and we have forgotten who we really are."

Why didn't Regina tell me about Henry and his book of stories? It could have helped me get my heart back. Margaret felt his forehead and he was sweating then he kneeled down, "you're burning up. You need to go home and get some rest."

"You're right. Sorry to disturb you."


Magnus decided to use his times in the office, so he grabbed the files and picked up the dart and threw at the target. He groans when he missed the target, picked up the dart from the floor when he heard Madam Mayor's voice, "our tax dollars hard at work, I see."

Magnus rolled her eyes, "Graham isn't here, so I assumed he took a sick day with you."

His wall is up again, closed off and that's how he protects himself. He acts like he's incapable to feeling anything for anyone. I didn't anything about that, "you left so quickly before I have a word with you."

"No, you made it perfectly clear. I'm a screw up and a dumb piece of a shit."

It's a trap and that worries me, by tonight he's going to get drunk again, depressed drunk and still completely loss in himself. How did Emma get here? How is this person Emma-Emmett for that matter? There's nothing I can say right now because he isn't ready to talk, so I decided to write down my personal number. Regina grabbed a small piece of a paper and started writing her personal phone number, "this is my number. Call me when you're ready and I'll be here, day or night," then she gave the paper to Magnus. Magnus got confused by this as he took the small piece of paper from her hand, no talkback or "no Queen Bitch of the day?" Regina didn't reply and just simply smiles at him, "I hope you have a good day, Magnus."


Graham pushes the doorbell at the Mayor's house on Muffin street. Henry answered the door, "Hey, Sheriff. My mom's not here."

"Actually, I am here to see you, Henry."

"I was hoping you could help me."

"Help you with what?"

"It's about the book," Graham wanted to find his heart and his life back. Graham and Henry sat at Henry's bed in his room, showing him the book, "what did you see?"

"A wolf," Graham told him what happened in his dream then Henry turned the page to show who Graham in his past life, "that makes you the Huntsman." Graham wasn't sure to believe in Henry but it does make sense through. He kept seeing the wolf and he was raised by wolves. The wolf is trying to show him something, "he's your guide."

"All of this happened because of Magnus? I touched him ….," he was confused and didn't understand how the true memories are turning. They both have a special connection. Magnus owe him his life because he saved Snow White. If he never saved Snow White, Emma would never been born. He doesn't know if his heart is in the book, "what happens after I spared Snow White?"

"Cora took your heart. She ripped it out, that's why you were never able to feel thing again."

Graham took the book from Henry to search for Cora's vault then saw the simple of a deer at top of the vault, he pointed, "what is that?"

"I saw this symbol; the wolf was howling at it."

The Mills Mausoleum at the graveyard, but Henry didn't say it's her mom's vault as well, "you need to talk to mom, Graham." Graham knows now that the wolf is trying to help him to find his heart then thanked Henry. It's not at Cora's house, so did Regina know where his heart is or there's more than she knows.


Magnus was waiting for Graham in his yellow beetle car, jumped up from his car when Graham was walking down from Madam Mayor's house. Magnus decided to take matters in his hands to check on Graham, he looked awful, his under bags and, sweating and unshaved. He had a rough couple of days and looking like a crazy man. Graham suggested to take him to the doctor, but he declined due having no heart because of the curse.

"You're not fine. You went to Henry for help!"

"He's the only one making any sense!" Graham is determined to find his heart no matter the costs. Magnus tried to convince him that he has a heart and all he probably needs is a surgery.

"I just need to follow the wolf."

"What? What wolf?"

Graham told him how the wolf has been helping him to find his heart. Unfortunately, Magnus does not believe that Storybrooke has other lives, so he thought they were speaking in metaphor. "You really believe you don't have a heart?"

"It's the only explanation on why I don't feel anything."

Magnus tries to show him that he has a heart by making him feel the heartbeat, but it's the curse, Magnus couldn't believe that there's someone believing in Henry's stories, "you don't really believe it's true?" Magnus' eyes widen when he spotted a wolf then they followed the wolf, running and chasing the wolf through the graveyard until the wolf howls front of the Mills Mausoleum. Magnus was worried that the wolf will bite them, "be careful."

"It's okay. He's a friend," Graham carefully approaches the wolf, but he ran off. He looked up and saw the very same symbol of deer. That's her vault! "I have to look in there," pulling out his flashlight.

"No. No! Stop, Graham!"

"I must get in there! Please!"

Magnus sighs, fuck, "you really believe your heart is in there?" Graham nods with full confidence then Magnus gave in, "fine. Okay." Anything to show him proof that Henry's stories are a fake and curse is just Henry's make up stories. He turns around and pushes the door then picked the door, finally it opens. Graham stubbornly finds a secret passage. Magnus stopped him from searching inside, "there's nothing here."

"There has to be."

"It's going to be okay."


Regina walked into her mausoleum as usual every Wednesday to put flowers on her father's grave. Regina come for another reason, Henry told her what happened and showed her that Cora's vault is in her vault. Regina honesty had no idea, her. Hearts is hers, but not Cora's. Did Cora really put hers as well in mine, she wonders. So, she decided to visit Mills Mausoleum and finds Magnus and Graham inside, "what the hell do you think you are doing?"

Magnus finds this strange, "what are you doing here?"

"Putting flowers on my father's grave," showing him the white flowers.

Graham defended Magnus, "don't blame him. It's my fault. I wanted to look in there."

Regina looked between both of them, then back to Magnus, "can we please have some privacy?" She waited until Graham gave him permission when he slightly nods at him. Magnus wanted to stay to make sure he's okay but Graham reassures him, "it's fine, Magnus."

They both waited for Magnus to disappear in the sight then Regina questioned, "why are you here?"

"Henry told me that this is Cora's vault. I thought this is your vault. Were you lying to me?"

"I didn't know, Graham, but yes this is my vault," Regina walks in and touched her father's grave, Henry Mills, Beloved Father is engraved on the tomb. She put her flowers on it and mentally talks to her father, how she misses him then pushes the grave to the side. Graham followed her to downstairs and saw the gold boxes on the wall filled with hearts, you could hear the hearts beating so loudly.

"You had it the whole time?!"

It's complicated, she thought, "Cora is different, Graham. She poisons some of the hearts because she likes to be in control. If she loses control over a person, she'll kill them without any remorse." I couldn't risk putting Graham's heart in his, Cora likes to keep him in a tight leach. Regina tries to avoid all costs as she waved over one certain box, and it opens. Graham's heart in her hands, "please don't make me do this."

Graham wanted to feel again, and he's willingly to take a risk, "do it."

Regina controls her tears and puts his heart back then he dropped onto the ground, "Graham! Graham!" Regina sobbing loudly, please no, shaking his body, "Graham, please come back!"
