   Summary

   With a lull falling over Storybrooke after Robin and Marion leave and nothing drastic going on to distract her, Emma finds herself unable to shake the guilt of ruining Regina's happy ending. One lunch in the mayor's office later, she hatches a plan to find a new True Love for Regina... by faking a relationship together. Regina reluctantly agrees, and thus the game begins. Only, how far does the game go before they're in too deep? What happens when they realize the fake dating isn't quite as fake as it once appeared?
