but i leave in my heart

When the Evil Queen returns, Regina is left to figure out how to stop her before she destroys everything.*****“I’m so scared,” Regina says, the words slipping out even though she wants to swallow them down, down, down so she can be strong and sure and stop leaning on Emma like this. But she can’t keep it bottled up, too cracked and vulnerable without the pieces she tore out and threw away. “I don’t know what I would do if she took Henry. Or if she hurt you…our family—““I won’t let her,” Emma tells her. “No matter what, I will protect Henry. And you. You can count on me.”
