Their familiar waltz transforms into a new dance, familiar yet unique to them. The fluidity of their movements surprises Snow at first, +

For two woman with decades of history elaborately knitted, or tangled, with every shade of emotion, jazz befits this reunion, embodying the dualities of their past with its own complexity. With Regina’s arm encircling her, Snow ruminates on the pattern—the multi-dimensioned Malbec, +

“Regina!” Already out of her seat, Snow allows herself to be guided toward their makeshift dance floor. “I have never seen this side of you.” Awe weaves into the intimacy of this act, willingly and happily being led in a dance by Regina. Never has an elegantly decorated +

The jubilant mood filling the atmosphere is contagious, and Snow’s radiant smile, reserved for moments of true joy, makes an appearance. Almost embarrassed at the proverbial ‘grinning like an idiot’ moment, Snow ducks her head slightly, though she’s unable to suppress an ounce of happiness. It +

“But it wasn’t until she was here that I started to see more of you, your essence and not simply the powerful, professional woman and what you projected to us. Who you are.”

With much effort, Snow pulls her attention to Regina’s words and away from the alluring trajectory of fingers along flesh.

“What a wonder it is to be able to do…to say the things we’ve wanted.”

With a heartfelt chuckle, Snow feels the last vestiges of hope break free from their confines. “How has it been so hard to say it and now it feels like the easiest, most +

What a radical transformation for the princess and the queen to find themselves here on this sofa with so much laid bare. Snow drains the remainder of her glass, setting it aside.
