"Ugh!"

"What is it?"

"My family's Christmas party. It's not on the same day as your family's"

"And that's a problem?"

"It means we have to go to both! I much rather going to the Bjorgman Family party."

"Really?" he blushes. "Even considering how… heavy and… loud they can be?"

"What?! You're family's awesome! Other than Elsa, my family's… awkward."

"More awkward than my family? You do remember what my uncles did to us last year, right?"

Anna giggled. "That was cute. At least your family just goes overboard trying to get us married. My Great Aunt Sigrun is always trying to get me to marry 'this nice boy,' or 'that nice gentleman' from her church group. It's annoying."

"She knows you're not single, right?"

"I tell her every time I see her, but she doesn't believe me. Plus she thinks she's the world's greatest matchmaker since a ton of my cousins found their mates through her."

"So what are you going to do?"

"I guess we have to go, but… we'll have to pretend to be married, ok?"

"Wait, what? That's your plan? Couldn't you just talk to her or something?"

"I've tried. I've even shown her pictures of you, of us, but it doesn't work." Anna clasped his hands and looked up at him contritely, "Look, I know it isn't the best of plans, But it's the only thing that'll get her to shut up."

"Well," Kristoff looked down shyly. "What if we didn't have to pretend?"

Anna grinned, "What, you're going to do something permanent to her?"

"No, not to her," he said softly, pulling a small velvet box from his pocket.
