Why

Snow blinked when she realised the chilly air hit her face. Looking around to see she was outside the house.

Fresh air...she lied. All she wanted was to avoid the topic he was starting. Her past wasn't something she wanted to talk about.

She sighed gazing up at the sky, it was dark with nothing but the half-moon.

"You seem lonely too" she muttered rubbing her hands over her shoulders. It was cold outside, and having rushed off, Snow had not grabbed anything warm.

The day he had met her was the day her life changed. Nothing about it did she want to remember.

It was the past with no good memories of it, nothing to make her smile or want to go back to it.

"what am I even doing ?" She asks herself.

Ever since the betrayal and loss of her child, she had nothing on her mind but revenge. Ways on how to get back at Tom and Lydia. But he had killed Carol without thinking twice about their relationship.

She smirked, he had done it to her too. Must have been so easy for him to do it again.

Her face got even sadder.

All those years they spent together were fake to him, while she treated them with love.

LOVE....

Snow frowned.

Would she ever be able to again...something flashed in her mind and her face instantly blushed.

"Divean "she called his name.

"Yeah," he answered right behind her. Snow jumped back in shock to hear him answer.

"You here ?" She blinked.

"Mmm," he walked to her, pushing her back to the bench and draping the coat over her cold shoulders.

She gazed up at the perfect face.

Divean.... a lot had happened between them since she joined his family. They had kissed more than once and ...and ...she gulped

Divean met her gaze and Snow looked away.

He sighed sitting back.

"Am sorry If I said something to upset you?" he said.

"You didn't, it's me " she answered.

"What do you mean ?" he asked.

"I don't want to talk about my past ....it's ..it's filled with nothing but pain" she let out.

"Am sorry I didn't mean to bring it up" he said.

She smiled.

"I know "

They sat there in silence gazing up at the sky. Suddenly she felt his hand warmly take hers.

"Your freezing " he muttered taking the other too.

She watched him rub her hands between his with care.

They had been always at each other's neck, business-wise. Always competing and making sure the other was behind them. Even when they met at parties they ignored each other ...or she did the ignoring most of the time.

She breathed, had he been this caring all along?

"It's bothered me ...and still does why you were crying that day," he said.

"Oh..".

"It's why I asked...I didn't know it would make you angry " he let out.

"Am sorry I reacted that way it's just that I don't want to talk about it "

"Okay," he went on warming her hands.

"Can you carry me back, my feet seem frozen?" she said.

He let go of her hands and got down in front of her.

Snow smiled as she gazed down at his broad back.

"Come on, let's get you back to bed," he said.

Slowly she got onto his back, her hands slid on his neck holding on while he lifted her with ease.

They walked back to the house in silence, Snow leaned down onto his back and closed her eyes.
