Widow's Shield

Out in the Town

"Ms. Anastasia…" T'Chakka started.

"Mm, call me Ana." Ana smiled.

"Well, then Ana," the prince took a bite of the hotdog, "call me Charlie. Mmm what delicacy is this?"

Ana chuckles, "It's called a hotdog, Charlie."

"I love your laugh." Charlie admitted, "It's like a thousand angels are singing."

"Angels? Wow…" Ana looked disturbed.

"Oh no no, I did not mean to offend…"

"Oh it's not that, it's just nobody has ever given me a compliment that nice before." Ana caressed his face, "Thank you."

"Ana, do you know what your name means?"

Ana sighs, "My mother's name is Natasha, so her conceited self named me after herself."

"Your name, Anastasia, means, reborn." Charlie shook his head, his brown eyes looking into Ana's crystal blue eyes.

Ana smiles and stands up it was winter, Ana could feel the cold air, as she shivered. "Let's go?"

The prince chuckles, "Where are we going?"

Ana smiles, "I'm taking you ice- skating."

Charlie stood up, "Ice- skating?"

"Yes…" Ana held out her hand, "Come on."

When they get to the frozen pond, it was filled with children skating. Ana smiles as she went over to the man selling ice- skating shoes. She puts it on and looks over at the prince.

"I will stay here and enjoy more of the hot dogs." Charlie stated, as Ana went over to the ice.

When they finally got to the Stark Tower and Charlie insisted on walking Ana to her door. "I had fun, this evening." Charlie smiled.

"Me too." Ana nodded, as she took out her keys and opened the door, "You know you
really didn't have to walk me?”

As Ana turned to face him, Charlie kissed her. Ana kissed him back. She didn't understand why her heart was fluttering, she has never felt this way before.
