Chapter 162

• "Flattery will get you nowhere, Ms. Nolan." A small grin played on Regina's lips that made Sophia's brow slightly lift straight up in the air.
• A mutual smirk played on Sophia's lips as she took a step, followed by another toward Regina. Close enough to reach for her hand, and once again, she was surprised when she didn't withdraw from her touch.
• Their eyes fell to their joined hands, until Sophia brought Regina's hand up, held it close to her lips and placed a gentle kiss along her knuckles where their eyes locked onto one another.
