I know she was just playing him at the ball, but does any one have the feeling that Henry sr. and Cora might have been an okay match if she hadn’t ripped her heart out?
Yes, I think that she and Regina are alike in that they both caused their own misery. I think if Cora would have learned that just being Henry’s wife or just being Rumple’s wife were okay instead of wanting even more power, she could have been happy.
I don’t think that Henry loved her nor she loved him, but I think that he respected and was charmed by her. I also think that he was a nice and pleasant enough guy that they could have made it work even if it wasn’t true love.
