From your reaction, I take it the reality didn't exceed the anticipation. Finally got to give yourself a little pat on the back, I see. Happy to be proven right aren't you?

Don't get too comfortable though, dearie. There's still more of this tale to be told. After all, in case you hadn't learned by now - I always get what's mine in the end.

Oh no, just Valentine's Day, I'm afraid. You know how I am with true love.

[ That's her #1 hobby, ok? Especially when she finds something interesting. ]

[gild]

No, actually I don't. How are you doing in that arena?

[ Ashley and Sean engaged to be wed... Mary Margaret and David grinning like loons at each other... And your only potential boyfriends are either smarmy flunky or dead after dumping you. The scoreboard for you is not pretty, gurlfrand. ]

[disheartening]

[ oh shut up. At least she's not keeping chipped tea cups, you're growing soft. ]

Happy to see my town so overjoyed, of course. Their happiness is my own.

[ He can do what he wants with his things. And besides, it is part of a tea set and do you have any idea how impossible it is to find replacements that match? Do you??? Not that it matters cause shut up. ]

That's an amusing thought - you, happy. I think we both know better than that.

[disheartening]

[ Are you an old British lady now, Mr. Gold? ]

On the contrary, I find myself extremeley happy these last few days.

[ she has Belle, David has Mary yes but he also has a wife, and this town is still under her control. Happily ever after, indeed. ]

[ mind the biscuits no, and that doesn't negate the point. ]

Enjoy it while it lasts.

[ What, sorry, can't hear you over the sound of that big ol' clocktower tick tocking away. ]

[disheartening]

And it will.

[ Regina had noticed that stupid clock working, she noticed Sheriff Swan seemingly not going anywhere and she hadn't missed the new stranger.

And now after their talk, well. She knew Rumple well enough to know he will always hide something in this chess game.

She had her turn and now it was his move. ]

[gild]

Nothing ever does.

[ King may be to you for the moment, Regina, but even a child could (and will, thanks to that delightful little book Mary Margaret just happened to get hold of) tell you how this ends. How it always ends.

He'll make his move. In his own time. ]

[disheartening]

Not a believer in happily ever after, Mr. Gold?

[gild]

Merely stating a fact.

Never mind that everyone seems to forget that a happy ending goes hand in hand with a tragic one. The dragon must be slain for the knight to ride into the sunset, and the wicked witch must melt for the heroine to return home.
