‘ if i’m not mistaken   this is the sweetest thing you’ve done for me. ’  ella is ALL full of smiles and wide eyes, her cheeks matching her rosey lips. she can’t help but look over at REGINA with adoring eyes.

@fairsts  / starter call.

‘   don’t get used to it, dear.   ’   her words are flat, her features expressionless. regina, as of late, had not been in the business of doing favors   —    or anything, really    —    for anyone else, and she didn’t plan on keeping up the kindness parade.   ‘   though, i am   …   glad i could help.   ’   and then, she allows a gentle smile to lighten her seemingly permanent sour mood.
