Time Period: The Present Reality

Rumple's p.o.v

I join Regina for a late night stroll through Story Brooke. We are checking to see if anyone is up pass curfew. Nobody is roaming about so I have Regina all to myself. Glowing,

the moon and stars beam down on us. I love this calm peaceful feeling. "I forgive you" I whisper through the misty fog. "How did I disappoint you?" Regina wonders. "I forgive

you for not telling me that Robin was your boyfriend. I forgive you for leaving Ava in the car. Her death was an accident" I explain. "I forgive you for running off with Milah. I

forgive you for marrying Belle. I forgive you for hurting me. Maybe our separation and divorce was for the best" She reminiscences. "Now that you are off the market, I don't

have to worry about you. I believe you and Solomon are in good hands. I trust Robin" I respond. "This is my last chance to do anything with you. We shouldn't waste this

moment" she advises me.
