Good Essays

He should've been nervous about giving her the dagger, he should have never told her about it, but deep inside him he knew it was right. The demon in him found comfort in knowing the dagger was protected by her. The spinner in him was distracted, still feeling her lips on his skin. He had so much to do, he couldn't let himself think about anything other than getting Belle what she wanted. He visited Regina, telling her about how they were to get rid of two others. But, this time, she knew it was something more. She had demanded to know exactly what was going on. He did not give her what she wanted, instead he left her with her own thoughts.

You still have much to do." He tried to keep his Dark One mask on, making everything a joke.
"Tell me, have you taken a fancy to Queen Belle?" She still stood in place, not listening to Rumpel. She had found a little spot for Gaston and King George. She even brewed some more sleeping draught for them, incase Rumpel needed it. This was getting personal and she wanted to find out why.

Regina's eyes were wide, Tink was grinning ear to ear and Rumpel was amused by this whole situation.
