Meant To Be

Chapter One

Here I am, once again, walking home from seeing Henry. It's an absolutely gorgeous day. We went into the forest and looked at the scenery. He seems to truly have a love for nature. I never would've suspected that, since he plays video games so often. We had a lot of fun. When he's happy, I'm happy. I felt as though someone else was out there, like they were watching us. Maybe it's just a bit of paranoia; things have been sketchy ever since Emma broke the curse....

I walk towards the door of my house. It feels so lonely without Henry here. He's living with his grandparents and Emma. I unlock the door and step inside. I go up to my room and get ready to put on some comfortable clothes so I can read my favorite book. That is until I here a loud knock on my front door. I sigh, and back track down stairs. When I open the door a man is standing there. "Hello, does Henry Mills live here?" He asks politely. "No, not anymore. May I ask why?" I reply. He's tall, and rough looking. But, a good type of rough looking. "Well, I was in the forest today and I found this on the ground. I actually saw him drop it." The man says. He shows me a library card with Henry's name and my address scribbled on the back. So that's who was watching us today.... "That's my son, Henry. I was with him when he apparently dropped that. So, you were watching us walk in the forest today?" I say harshly. He looks at me and blushes. "No, no of course not. I was hunting when I saw you two walking and I didn't want to harm you so I watched you until you were out of my vicinity." He quickly answers. "So technically you were watching us." I smirk and lean against the door frame. He looks down at his feet and then looks at me again. "I'm Robin Hood, by the way." He says. "How nice. I'm Regina." I reply. There's a pregnant pause. "I guess I'll take Henry's library card, thank you for returning it." I suggest. He hands me the card. "My pleasure." Robin says and backs away from the door. "Goodbye." I don't say goodbye back. I just watch as he walks down the path in my front yard. I smile. Hmm, Robin Hood. I think to myself. He's actually not that bad. I close the door and kick my shoes off. I think back to when Tinker Bell tried to help me find my true love. I wonder who that lucky guy is.... Now I'm going to sit down, drink a nice cup of tea, and maybe, just maybe, think about my "meant to be". It wouldn't be that bad of an idea to find out that whoever he is, is meant for me.
