    Summary

    “... You want us to keep having dinner together, even though Henry won’t be around?”
    Emma’s breath catches in her throat. She honestly hadn’t considered that she and Regina wouldn’t continue seeing each other. Somehow, the thought of not being able to spend time with Regina feels even more devastating to her than Henry leaving for College. She swallows the lump in her throat, trying to ignore the hollow feeling in her stomach, all too familiar from years of rejection, before she desperately tries to recover.
    “Uh, yeah. I mean, not necessarily like this, if that’s not what you’d like, but we can still hang out after work, or watch a movie, or, you know…” Emma watches Regina’s lip slowly inch upwards and she feels her confidence return enough to add, “... Go out for drinks more often?”
    Regina all out smiles at her, eyes sparkling with mirth and something else Emma can’t quite discern but she knows it makes her heart soar.
    “I’d love that, Emma.” Regina answers.

    Or,
    When they suddenly find out Henry is going out of state for College, it leaves Emma and Regina to figure out how to adapt their family dinner times.
    A love story told and explored through dinners (and drinks).

    Summary

    Henry brings Emma home. Regina says you’re Henry’s birth mother? and Emma says hi and then Regina says I’m Regina Mills and Emma stumbles back against the pillar on the porch and tucks her wrist against her. She says shakily, Emma Swan, and there’s the slightest flicker of recognition in Regina’s eyes.

    She wonders, at first…

    Regina wears heavy bracelets and pays Emma as little attention as she can while also keeping Henry from her. She sees Emma from her window on one of the first days in Storybrooke, her hands outstretched as she takes a chainsaw to Regina’s precious apple tree, and the first thing Regina notices is her name scrawled across Emma’s wrist.

    Of course. Of course.
