Previously on A Thawed Heart- You kept replying the things that happened today in your mind still trying to rap your head around it. You ate dinner and fell asleep thinking of him you wondered if he was doing the same...

You woke up feeling refreshed almost forgetting tomorrow was christmas eve. You got up and checked the time it was 10 till 6, your shop opened at 7. You got dressed a little fancyer than your normal plain dresses. You had some earands to run before you went to the shop so you decided to skip breakfast.

As you walk into the main part of town it started to sprinkle. The clouds looked dark this morning. Then it started hailing. You covered your face the ice pelting your arms. You frantly looked around for a place to wait it out, your shop was still another 5 minute walk. Then you saw Mr. Scrooge's bank, Bobs workplace. You ran inside shuting the door firmly behind you. Bob looks up from his dest surprised. "Y/n?! What are you doing in this weather its gastly outside!" He said frantically jumping up from his desk to tend to you."Look at you! Your arms y/n..."He said with a sad look on his face. You had a couple of bruises all ready starting to form from the hail hitting your arms."Im ok Bob." You said trying to comfort him. Your arms didn't hurt that much, you've seen worse.

"Cratchit whats all the fuss about?" Scrooge said coldly, coming out from his office writing in a small notebook. Prudence fallowing him."You know i don't like being bothered when im working." He said not looking up from his notebook. Bob started to apologize "Oh im sorry sir its j-".You cut Bob off "Im Sorry to disturb both of you," You said looking at Bob. You definitely weren't going to have him take the blame. Scrooge's head shot up from his notebook."It started hailing outside, i was caught in the middle of it on the way to my shop" You said looking at Mr Scrooge.

You watched his face turn from surprised to worry. "Are you alright?" He said as his eyes trailed down to your body checking you over. His gaze stopping at your arms. "Yes im ok-" you replied. I guess he isn't that bad, hes actually kind of nice to be around..." Well stay as long as long as you like y/n. Just don't distract Mr.Cratchit to much."Scrooge chuckled with a small smile.Bob looked utterly shocked."Thank you Ebenezer." You smiled staring to take off your winter coat. Scrooges face turned a pale pink. He said turned back to his office "Of course...Iv got to get back to work, now come along now Prudence" The big dog tilted her head looked at you and then back at Scrooge "Good day y/n".

Once Scrooge (and Prudence) was in his office you turned to Bob preparing to ask him how his day was."What was that?!" Bob wisper-yelled. "What do you mean?" You kept your voice down you didn't want to bother Scrooge again. Bob looked at you like you were purely stupid. "Why are you looking at me like that Bob?!" You whispers-yelled at him confused. "Is there something going on between you and Mr Scrooge?" He whispered to you under his breath.

"WHAT!?!" You yelled defending yourself. Him and me together? Your mind spiraled thinking about you and Ebenezer Scrooge as a couple. You felt your face heat up as your cheeks became a dark hue of red.
Bob put his finger over his mouth "SHhhH!" He hissed out frantically. You put your hands over your mouth just now realizing that you yelled."W-Why would you ask me that!?" You whispered to him. He put his hands up in defense "He was in a good mood all day yesterday so i asked him. He mumbled so i couldn't hear him fully. I could only make out him saying something about you, so i just thought..." you slapped his shoulder playfully "Bob you know its bad judging a book by its cover!" you scolded him.

You looked out side it had cleared up. It was almost 9 your shop shood open soon. "Iv got to get going, iv got to open the shop soon" you said putting on your coat. "I'll see you tomorrow evening Bob" You heard bob yell as you walked out "This topic isn't over!" You walked to your shop it was supposed be opened at 7 but nobody normally comes in that early. You opened the shop it was busier than normal with christmas around the corner. The day passed,nothing out of ordinary happened.

Your where about to close up shop when you noticed that the candle lighting up the counter burned up faster that normal. I just lit that candle...How did it burn that fast?you blew it out and picked up the candle holder. It stuck to the counter before detaching, some of the was had leaked from the holder and cooled in the shape of a heart? You didn't know what to make of it. You brushed it off and continued to pack up the shop.

On the walk home alone you thought about your mother. She loved christmas it was her favorite time of year. It was hard on her when Jacob Marley passed on Christmas eve. You couldn't help it you started tearing up. You wiped eyes, the cold bit at your cheeks. "Y/n...Whats wrong?" A deep male voice said worried.You looked up, you couldn't tell who it was though your tears. You wiped your eyes again but when looked up they were gone. You looked around nobody was there. I swear someone was there. They sounded familiar too...You look where they should have been standing only to see a big patch of blue ice.
