ANNA'S POV
I sat across from Elsa in the dining room. The air was still and silence swallowed the room as we ate. She would make eye contact with me briefly from time to time. Finally, I worked up the nerve and broke the silence, "Elsa, what's the matter?"
"Nothing..." she spoke softly.
My heart began to race. I couldn't exactly determine whether it was worry or a hint of anger for her shutting me out.
"I know something is wrong. We could solve the problem so much quicker if you'd just be honest with me. It feels like you're trying to shut me out."
I rose from my chair and walked over to her side.
"Elsa, just tell me. It can't be that bad."
"Anna, maybe we are trying too hard to be something we aren't."
"Elsa, what are you saying?"
"Anna, I love you with all of my heart. More than anything in the entire world. My life has always revolved around two things: my love for my perfect little sister and finding out who I am. I know I'm in love with you, but I know who I am.... And you deserve more than that."
"Elsa.... You are the most amazing person I know. I've never loved or believed in anyone as much as you. You can't push me away."
"I'm not trying to. I'm worried that my emotions will get the better of us. I don't want to put you in a dangerous situation."
"You're worried too much about the physical stuff... come on.... We have lived our entire lives hiding how we feel from each other. We can't let the physicality of the romantic part of our relationship get in the way. The reason it's such a problem is because you're overthinking it."
I watched as Elsa shifted uneasily. Her eyes met mine, and I couldn't feel more complete.
"Let's just take it easy. Forget all the stress of pushing ourselves. I just want to spend all my free minutes in your company. We can sweep the floors together and I'll be content as long as I'm with you Elsa."
She began to blush. My heart rate increased dramatically.
She began to lean in and as her soft, cold lips brushed against mine, I couldn't help but smile. I returned the kiss with excitement, wrapping my arms around her waist.
I couldn't be happier.... I want this forever.
