Memory || Regina and Jack
The apple turnover slid easily into the oven, and the mayor couldn't help the small smile that formed on her lips as she stood and removed her apron. She had finished her work early, the voluminous stacks of paperwork finally lessening as people stopped turning to her to solve their problems and started to do so themselves. Life had returned somewhat to normal, and Regina was grateful for that.
She carefully hung the apron back up as she waited for either the oven to go off or for Jack to arrive back from school. The mayor poured herself a glass of cider and walked into the living room, sitting on the edge of the couch as she took a sip of the amber liquid.
The serenity was broken as the door to the manor flew open. Regina turned, raising an eyebrow at her daughter as she entered. Something was obviously wrong. She set the glass down and stood, walking over to her daughter. "Jaclyn, what's wrong?"
