Jack-
I wake up again at 5:00. My head on Elsa's shoulder, her hand on my head. She's reading something. I stay still and watch her.
So beautiful.
She looks down and sees me awake.
"Hey, sleep well?"
"Yea guess so, sorry for uh, poring my heart out earlier."
She smiles her smile that warms everyone's heart.
"It wasn't bad, it sweet. I'm glad you did."
"You are?"
"Yea, I am the Guardian of Love after all. I'm glad you let me know, especially since it was obviously bothering you so much."
I chuckle "yea, I guess it feels good to tell someone."
"I would hope so, I've actually been noticing something's been bothering you for a while, a few months."
"You have?"
"Yea, it's complicated."
"Well, I'd say we've got time."
A knock at the door startles the two of us. I get up and open to reveal Emma with tears poring down her face. I pick her up and carry her to the bed. I set her in between Elsa and I.
"What's wrong sweetie." Elsa asks
"I had a nightmare."
