There was something absolutely magical in the air that day, and Regina couldn’t help but to feel that Miners Day wasn’t even the half of it. She hung up the office phone and looked over at Mason who was playing with his new train set just in front of her desk and smiled warmly. Things could have not been going better for The Mayor of Storybrooke. Henry was on his way out (with no one wanting him to stay, who would allow him a room when Granny’s of all people kicked him out), she recently discovered the patch to mend her scarred heart and late-nights with Robert only proved to be fruitful.

“C’mon Mason, I’m finished with my business work today. I told you it wouldn’t take very long.” Regina said pushing herself from her chair to join Mason at his side. “Just leave your train set here, we can pick you up another for home.”

“Are we going to Miners Day?” Mason asked eagerly, folding his hand into Regina’s out of habit. Regina nodded and smiled, running her fingers through his thick head of brown hair.

“Just as I promised. Maybe we can see about someone getting you a haircut too.”

The two smiled at one another, both basking in the warming love that they both desperately needed. An unspoken bond had formed between the boy and Regina over the last week. Wherever Mason went, Regina wasn’t to be found too far away. Even at school, Regina made a point pick him up and drop him off at exactly the times needed to be able to spend the most amount of time with him. She also made a habit of joining him for lunch, whether it was taking him something in a Hulk lunchbox she let him pick out, or taking him to Granny’s.

The warmer changes in Regina’s heart started coming out visibly as well, as today she had undergone the silk shirts and dress pants. Today, instead she wore a tight-fitting black turtleneck and blue jeans. Practical for the normal person’s everyday use, but still holding an air of class when Regina wore it.

The duo left Regina’s office after Regina had locked it up tight and set up the security alarm, and made their way down to the heart of Storybrooke to see what it is they could find this year...but unlike last year, they had someone to do it with together.
