Yesterday the little Meggy has received her new heart. Once Kristof finishes his shift he goes back home, instead Elsa is checking one other time all patients of the day. She enters in the various rooms and check the drip, the medical record, and asks the patient if it's all right. She exites from the 23-B room, she approaches to the next one.

"Hey doc! You gave me a new heart!" She's about to get up from the bed, but Elsa immediately goes to stop her and now she's standing in front of the bed.

"You shouldn't get out of bed. You should rest."

"You're attentive to me, you acts like a big sister, you could seem surly but you're not. In my opinion it's not true that you have a frozen hear." She hugs Elsa and holds her little head right on the heart of the doctor. "Your heart beats, and you're not even so cold as they say.. you can't be bad, you gave me a heart." Elsa is stunned for a moment, she doesn't know what to do, this is the first time that she's in a situation like that.

"Maybe it's because I don't talk much with others, tell me how do you feel?"

"I'm fine, I'm supposed to sleep but I couldn't. It's okay if you stay a little bit with me? Maybe if they see that you talk with me they stop calling you like that, although I don't think they do it in a bad way. At my school there's this boy Nicholas, who gives nicknames to everyone, but nobody is bothered, because we have fun together."

"Well, sometimes children are more mature than adult people. I'd like to stay here, but I have to finish the round of visits."

"Then I'll wait for you! Finish it and then come back to me!" after a big smile of the little girl, Elsa nods and ends the rounds. She watches the clock 'I don't think she's awake." She goes into the room of Meggy.

"I knew you would have come!"

"What are you doing?" The little girl is sitting cross-legged on the bed and she's looking at a book.

"Homework. Math. I'm here for a month.."

"I could help a bit, but that remains a secret between the two of us, then you go to sleep."

So, she helps the girl with algebra, after almost an hour Meggy falls asleep. Elsa takes away the book, she tucks the blankets and she goes away. While leaving she hears the girl murmurs a "good night". A nurse watches the doctors with a bit of curiosity.

"Do you need something?" Elsa says. The nurse shakes his head and turns.

The days pass, Meggy is dismissed and there are various operations, Kristoff is always in the OR but few times Elsa allows him to make something significant, probably because she doesn't trust his skills yet.

"Dr. Winters, a word please?" Elsa is in the Chief Kai Summers' Office. It is well lighted, there are some plants and numerous certificates on the walls. There are also photos, but from where she sits she can't look at them. Not that she's interested.

"How are you here? It's been a month that you're been working here."

"I'm well, this hospital is very well supplied."

"So tell me, why your intern hasn't done an operation as first surgeon with her?"

"I'm not feeling comfortable letting him operate alone a patient yet."

"Have I already told you that this is a teaching hospital?"

"Yes, you have. And I'm teaching him various techniques."

"But he must operate sooner or later, or he will never become a surgeon. Just let him make a simple one, after all you'll always be there to supervise. I've seen that you have some low relief operations."

"Okay, maybe he'll do one of those. With your permission, I have patients to check." The Chief dismisses her and she leaves.

Although she prefers operates herself, she decides that it's not appropriate to make the chief an enemy of her. She goes to the cafeteria where Kristoff is making a coffee break with some others interns.

"Bijorman. Today you'll have your solo operation. I'll be there to supervise. Try not to let me intervene. No mistakes."

"Really!? Thanks you! I won't disappoint you!" Kristoff highlights of joy for the opportunity that Elsa is giving him. She looks at him in a neutral way, his friends are cheering him up.

"Bijorman, we have to check the patient in the 13-H room. Say bye to your friends, here." Some of the interns whispers "She's such an Ice Queen, the rumours are real."

Once they reach the patient's room, Elsa lets Kristoff handles the whole situation. She knows that he's prepared, he's studying a lot, but she prefers to go cautiously, after all on the operating table there isn't a mannequin, but a person in flesh and blood who has a family and she doesn't want that something could possibly go wrong. After the guy has informed the patient of the procedure, he instructs the nurses about what pre operation's drugs give to the patient.

Once everything is ready they goes to the OR number 4. Elsa checks that everything is in order in the room, like her routine. She needs to know that everything is in the right place, and everyone know their roles. While the equip is busy operating, from the room where other surgeons can watch, without their knowledge there is a familiar redheads. She keeps smiling watching her cousin's first operation.

"What are you doing here?" the Chief's approaching the readhead.

"Hi Dad, look! Kristoff's hands are on that men chest."

"Anna, you shouldn't be here, you should be at the University. Skipping class, again?"

"Yeah.. sorry Dad, but I couldn't not seeing my beloved cousin's first solo surgery! He texted me. I couldn't say no. Tomorrow I have lessons, I'll go, pleaseeee let me stay here!"

"Fine, I guess I'll stay too." They hugged each others.

"Is she the Ice Queen?" Anna's looking at the blond standing next to Kristoff with her hands behind her back, and a lovely cap. 'There are snowflakes on it. That's s cute.'

"Yes, but she's very talented." Anna keeps watching every movements the doctors are making. She whispers "I'd like to see her in action."
