don't let anything hold you back | OQ date night
Regina Mills was fixing her hair in front of the mirror in her foyer. It already looked perfect, but somehow she needed it to be even more perfect. She almost didn't want to think of the night ahead, or the previous night, because if she did, she would think of him. And whenever she thought of him, she would sigh happily.
Snow told her she could feel things deeply, with all of her soul. She knew if she went to him and didn't hold back and she let things happen, she could still love him, even without her heart. They were soul mates and their souls would love each other and feel complete together. That's what all this meant, right?
“...Sooner or later, your heart will find its way to happiness…I know you, and you feel things deeply. With or without it, you feel things with your whole soul. Don’t let anything hold you back.”
So she'd sought him out. He said he'd get her heart back. He said he'd fight for her. No one had seemed that devoted to keeping her alive and keeping her happy before. Not since Daniel. Perhaps he was the right one for her. So she'd kissed him, and she'd never felt anything like it. She pulled back, afraid, searching his face for a reaction, but he leaned in for another kiss.
Regina raised her fingers to her lips and her cheeks where he'd caressed her. She wanted more, more kisses, more of him, to talk to him, to touch him. She took a deep breath and sighed, reaching in her purse to apply lipstick. Then the doorbell rang, and if she had a heart, she was sure it would do flips of happiness and anticipation. She took her purse and answered it.
"Hello, Robin," she smiled at him. "I've been looking forward to this all day."
