Anna's POV
It was approaching the end of the day, and I hadn't seen any sign of Elsa.  My stomach has been turning as my mind has raced. Is she okay? Is there something wrong in the forest? Should I go find her?
My palms were sweating as I sat on the edge of my bed. I looked at the clock: 9:03 pm. My chest ached as I continued to worry.
She's okay. She didn't say she would be home this evening. But she never stays gone this long. I should lie down.
I went to the washroom and began my evening routine Of bathing and self care constantly reassuring myself that everything was okay. When I was all changed into my night clothes, I slowly made my way into my empty bed. I stared at my ceiling for what felt like hours next to the empty spot. I begged for sleep to take me from these feelings, but it waited and waited. It was 2:03 am the last time I checked the clock. Please. Please let her be okay. Let her be here when I wake up. Please.
And with that, I retired into a deep sleep. I hoped I wouldn't dream because I knew without her, I would have plenty of nightmares.

Elsa's POV
I've been sitting in the same spot for hours waiting for a sign. Do I stay? Do I go? Where do I belong? Why is this even a question? The love of my life is probably wondering where I am. Do I have obligations to the forest? Is Yelana right? Have I let them down? What do I do?
The walls grew colder around me. This was a nightmare. I wanted so badly to be in bed next to her. How could something that feels so right not be my destiny?
I closed my eyes, and all I could see were beautiful little freckles scattered across her perfect cheekbones. I could hear my name escape her lips in the form of a whisper. "I love you, Elsa."
"Ohhhh.... I love you too, Anna." I whispered back, hoping by some miracle she could hear or somehow feel my words. My mind raced, but she was still the center of my thoughts. I thought back to our first picnic when I confessed, how she had been waiting for me to be the first to admit our feelings. I thought back to how she sat next to me the entire time I was unconscious. I thought about how she caught me. I thought about our first time making love to each other; about how she took her time with me and made me remember every second.
I need her. I need to live the rest of my days with her.
Then, I thought about Yelana's words and how they ripped into my heart. Maybe I had let the tribe down.
I was determined to sit in this spot until I received some form of resolution. Sweet Anna, please forgive me for whatever is to come....
