"You're awfully quiet today Regina. Is it because I took the wine shop from you so easily?" Samuel asked as he approached Regina who was sitting in the garden reading a book. "Are you trying to be like Aurora? You've never been one to come into the garden to read. You hate dirt and grass. Plus, I expected you to be hiding after what happened this morning."

Regina flipped the page of her book ignoring Samuel who only came to bother her and rub it in her face that he got the wine shop.

"Really? Are you really going to ignore me, Regina? I don't have a huge problem with you. You are the one who keeps picking at me. Let's be honest, I was going to capture Aurora but then I realized after much thought that it was wrong. Aurora will forgive me when I see her soon."

Regina flipped another page more interested in what the book contained than what was being told to her.
