Marlena had already changed for bed and was reading the book Frances gave her when Regina finally came in through the window.
She nearly shrieked at the sudden intrusion and closed the book when she saw who it was. "I've been waiting for you. Why do you have to be so sneaky just to come to your daughter's room, mother? I almost thought I was being attacked." Or that Destrian had felt how much she missed him already and had decided to pay her a surprise late-night visit, she thought.
Regina closed the window behind her, keeping her voice low. "The mother queen wants me out of your life."
Marlena had been curious about what discussion the two were having when she arrived earlier but this?
"That's ridiculous! Does she know a thing about us? What makes her think she can come out of nowhere and tell us who not to be close to?"
