An interest in horse riding was never quite something you saw yourself developing. And yet, here you were, finding yourself with the desire to learn how to ride a horse. And when you brought it up to Regina that you wanted to learn, her heart soared with excitement and anticipation.

Regina had known how to ride a horse since she was just a young girl; it was one of the things she was expected to know. But unlike the other various skills she needed as a princess, she enjoyed this. And what better thing to do than share that love with her partner?

Taking you out with two horses to the forest surrounding Storybrooke, you made your way to a clearing. You started off easy, and to your surprise, you weren't so bad at it. You fell off a couple times when you tried to do some of the more difficult stuff, but that was to be expected.

After most of the day spent trying to learn how to ride, you were sore and tired. It was getting late, and the two of you needed to head home. And that was when Regina trotted up to you on horseback, offering her hand out to you.

"Come on. I'll give you a ride back."

She said, a soft smile on her lips. You couldn't help but smile back as you took her hand, climbing up onto the horse's back. Regina had really enjoyed herself today, you could tell - whether it was from her smiles, or the laughter you'd heard from her when you'd fallen off, or the overall softened demeanor, you could tell Regina was truly in a good mood.
