Chapter 186

• "Yeah," Sophia whispered out a single breath, the corners of her lips stretching into a knowing little smile. Her eyes never looked away from Regina's own as she continued, "I love you, Regina." Saying it out loud sure made her throat dry up more, so much she had to swallow. Her fingers laced along with Regina's, just in case the brunette wanted to run away. "I don't know how this happened to me with you, but I don't care. And if loving you is wrong… Well, then I'll gladly walk through the firing pits of hell, barefooted in all. Because I am not about to apologize for what I feel for you. I can't. Not when I'm already in this deep."
• Knowing that Sophia loved her, and actually hearing Sophia say those three little words that meant the world to Regina were two entirely different confronting feelings.
• S- Sophia, I-" Regina was at a loss for words. She never imagined ever hearing someone say they loved her with all the sincerity and feeling in the world. Let alone Sophia Nolan.
