Regina hadn’t really stopped to listen after Marian had her say at the diner.

You’re a monster.

The words reverberated in Regina’s head, and as she walked through the dark town toward home, angry tears stung her eyes. Perhaps she was just a monster, and that was all she would ever be. The sentence had been said in front of everyone, people who no doubt shared the sentiment, who couldn’t stand seeing her happy. It had been said in front of Henry, and she couldn’t even bring herself to look at him before she’d turned and gone.

When she was home, her first thought was to go to the bar in the study and fix herself a very stiff drink, but instead, her legs gave out on her on the foyer steps and she sank to the wooden floor, crying, deep heaving sobs that eventually slowed to quiet cries with her face buried in her hands.
