With the most recent Storybrooke drama handled and dealt with, the town was enjoying normalcy again... well what passed for normalcy in Storybrooke anyway. But without having to worry about somebody intent on destroying them, that meant Regina got to spend her time catching up on regular mayoral business and was free to take long lunch breaks to spend with her son.
So right now they were at Granny’s, enjoying ice cream for dessert when Regina noticed something out of the corner of her eye and subtly growled as she kept glancing in that direction. Emma Swan was standing outside with some guy she’d seen around town before but wasn’t familiar with otherwise. They were talking and laughing and when the guy touched Emma’s arm for a moment, Regina’s curiosity got the better of her and she leaned over the table to whisper to her son as she motioned at the two people outside. “Who’s that?”
