AU Regina Mills meets David Nolan at nineteen. They spend one amazing autumn together before going their separate ways. Fast forward ten years and Regina is the youngest first deputy mayor that the small town of Storybrooke, Maine has ever seen. There’s even buzz about her running for the top job in the next election. In her personal life, she’s without a partner but is the adoptive mother of a four-year-old son, Henry. Her life isn’t perfect but she’s happy.

David Nolan, a farm boy from Kentucky, moves to Storybrooke looking for a new start with his two-year-old daughter, Emma. He never expects to run into a blast from lover’s past...but Regina wasn’t just any lover...she was his first (and only) love.

Can two single parents come together for a second time...even after being far away for far too long?
