♞let you go

“You were never worth anything to me.” The words slipped from her lips before she could stop them. Regina hated herself for this, but she had no choice. She had seen what her mother was capable of. Just the day before, she had been eavesdropping on her mother who was having a heated conversation with someone. The encounter ended with Cora ripping the woman’s heart out and crushing it to ash. A horrified Regina had seen with her own eyes what her mother could do. She knew that crossing Cora was not an option. And she would rather let Daniel go and know he was alive and safe than watch him die. So, hear she was forcing herself to break his heart, to pretend she never cared, that she’d only been using him. And in return she was breaking her own heart.
Daniel tilted his head to the side and tried to wrap his mind around her words. “Regina, that’s... No. What are you saying?” He couldn’t believe her. Not after all the sweet words they whispered into each others’ ears in the stillness of the night. Not after all that they’ve done just to spend more time alone. Oh, the lengths they went to... No this couldn’t be happening. Something else was behind this and he was determined to find out.
“Whatever it is we can beat it together, Regina. I am not giving up on you.” He took her hands in his and kissed her fingers. “I love you and I won’t stay here and watch you go.”
