Pausing with him there on the sidewalk, Regina tugged at his hand softly. He was typically the one to stop her, to slow her down and simply be in a moment. But she stopped him now and pulled him into a kiss, one hand still in his. That she could do this freely was amazing to her; someone who wanted her as much as she wanted them. Smiling against his mouth, she pulled back after one more kiss to his lips.

"Then I'll keep doing it," she finally replied. "As long as I can."
