A Second Chance

The Krumkake Chronicles: Pt. 3

Elsa's point of View:

I smiled at him as I pulled away and turned back to my little krumkake iron. I started a new batch as Jack pulled out another glass plate to put them in.
He watched me make some and then tried making them himself. If hand him a warm krumkake out of the iron and he would shape it.
Though I had been making these for years and my cones came out perfect, Jack struggled quite a lot with his.
His krumkake would turn out to look like cylinders or rectangular rods.
"How about I get you a rolling cone?" I offered in a slight giggle.
He bite the inside of his bottom lip and blushed a bit as he looked over at his misshapen cones. "That would probably be best." He nodded his head chuckling a bit.
I smiled and turned the iron off and put the batter back inside his fridge. He grabbed my hand out of nowhere making me blush and slightly get butterflies in my stomach. I can't help but squeeze his hand as we walk to my apartment across the hall.
I twist open the knob and step inside with Jack following suit.
"Let me get it..." I smile wry and let go of his hand as he looks around the apartment. I grab my cone shaped roller and look back up to where jack was.
But he wasn't there. "Jack?" I half whisper, half yell.
"Here I am!" He hollered back and I followed the sound of his voice to my room. "Sorry...I'm nosy" he explained as he looked through my bookshelf. His finger running through the rows of varied books.
I giggle at him and step next to him. "Well...at least you're honest." I say with a smirk as I hand him my roller.
"This looks dangerous,..." He said playfully squinting and sliding back to be farther away from me. "...you don't have a record? Do you?" He ask with a fake concerned look and I playfully smack his shoulder.
"No, of course not. I'm a good girl." I laugh a bit with him and grab his hand as I lead him back to his place.
I turn the knob but the door shuffles instead of swinging open. "I guess you locked it." I turn to Jack and let go of his hand.
He takes his now free hand and tries to open his door. "Hang on..." He smiles and reaches into his pocket. His eyes widen and he bite his lip trying not to laugh.
"Oh, let me guess, you left your key inside." I giggle slightly as he nods his head.
"Yeah, let's go to the front office and get myself a new key." He chuckles as he grabs my hand and we walk down the stairs to the front office.
As soon as we stand together in front of the front desk someone calls my name.
"Elsa?!"
