Regina Mills

*Regina, a brown-eyed brunette, was enjoying a roast and the company of her husband, Robin, at the Dreamer restaurant. He'd taken three days off. Robin told a story from an Indian shaman: a mother came to him with a girl sick with the plague. She had no money, and the shaman initially refused, but upon seeing the sick child, he cured her. The mother admitted that she was also sick. The shaman took the girl, Amelia, and raised her as his own. But 14 years later, Amelia was hit by a car. The shaman survived the loss, although he still grieves. Robin drank cognac. Mills felt sorry for the heroes. Suddenly, a shot rang out. A bullet flew past Regina's face, shattered the glass in her hand, and hit the wall. The woman screamed and fell. Robin hugged her, calling the police. Four more bullets hit the table and diners. Two minutes later, the police and an ambulance arrived. The wounded were taken away, the rest were questioned. Robin explained that the first bullet hit the glass, the others nearby. The young policeman asked about her enemies. Regina replied that the list was too long, and everyone wanted her dead. She was given a business card.

At home, Regina took off her shoes and sat in a chair. Robin suggested hiring a bodyguard. He had a friend in the navy who could recommend a good person. Regina agreed. Robin called his friend, Will Turner, sent him the questionnaires with the words, "We'll settle up later." He chose Emma Swan and arranged a meeting. That night, he lay down next to his wife and told her that she would be safe.

In the morning, Regina woke up without her husband. There was a note on the nightstand: he had left for a meeting, he would return in the evening. Miss Swan would arrive at 2:00 PM. They needed to get acquainted and explain the rules. Regina jumped up; there was an hour left before the guest's arrival. She took a quick shower, put on a red sheath dress, black shoes, and light makeup. Her dark hair was curled.

Blonde Emma parked the yellow car. Butler Steve opened the door. Emma said she was there for an interview. The butler led her into the living room. Regina was sitting in a chair. She was speechless when she saw Emma: a white shirt with unbuttoned buttons, black pants, and shoes. Regina couldn't take her eyes off her.*
