Chapter 3
"Well, I hate to leave so soon but I have a very important meeting to make. It was nice talking with you, Mr. Frost." I suddenly remember Anna's dating meeting.
"See you around, Elsa?" He asks me.
"That's Queen Elsa to you, and yes, why not? Where will you be?"
"Wherever you are, just call me when you're alone, k Elsa?"
I decide to ignore his not calling me Queen Elsa, but I don't really care. "Okay." I secretly smile to myself and hurry to meet Anna.

"Where have you been? You're never late!" Anna interrogates me. "I just, ran into a slight problem and had to fix it." I lie.
We look through the descriptions, and we've narrowed it down to 3 guys. One is a famous knight from England and has saved the king of England, twice, loves reading, and is very excited to hear that I am single. The second is a knight from a small kingdom called Ora Gami. He loves long walks on the beach in the summer, but also enjoys reading. The third is kind man in Denmark who saves endangered animals. I write a letter to each of them, asking them to send a picture of themselves doing something that they love.
I have some free time before dinner and I sit out in the garden to read that stupid law-book for the millionth time to try to make the law disappear. "Every queen must find a husband…" I read on. "And you're that queen. So who's the lucky guy? Mr. King of Arendelle?" Jack butts in.
"Someone," I say, letting the silence just sit. He breaks it.
"You don't know who yet? And what's with that stupid law-book? Is that a royal people hobby?"
"What? No. I'm trying to make a law disappear. And why are you asking so many questions? I'm the queen, I should be asking the questions."
"I thought it was my place to ask the questions. After all, you like to make the smart comments and statements back, right?"
I ignore his smile that looks into my soul, and I put away mine. "I enjoy that role, yes, but I have questions, too."
"Oh, do you? You haven't asked me anything about myself, just why I'm here and why am I doing what I'm doing. I know everything about you, but how much do you know about me?"
"I know things about you. I know that you're Jack Frost, you have ice magic, and that some people cannot see you. Who?"
"Everyone. Everyone can't see me. I'm a loner, all on my own."
"Why?"
"Because I died, but I didn't. I'm more like a not alive or dead person. My only company so far after 3 years is you. I didn't remember that I still knew English when you started talking to me. But I do, and I have a way with the language, don't you think?" He asks.
I smile sadly. "You do. But I know how you feel. Like you're alone and nobody wants to or can reach out to you. But trust me, you'll find someone who can fix all that. I did. I know."
"How do you know?"
"I was locked up in a room for longer than you've been alone. I've lived a bad life, but it got better a few years ago. I was locked up for my magic, but my sister Anna pulled me out of my cocoon, and now I'm queen."
"I had no idea."
"I know."
"Of course you do." He nudges my side and sits down next to me and we try to use magic that we don't possess to magically erase the stupid law.
