Chapter 3: That's How You Know
Jack's POV
Elsa didn't say a word while we flew to New Orleans. I tired to strike up a conversation but she stayed quiet.
We finally landed in New Orleans. We got off and waited for the luggage. Then we got a rental and drove to the hotel.
We got to our room and Elsa sat down on a chair. She looked out the window.
"Well, babe. What do you want to do?" I asked
"Lets go for a walk, I guess." Elsa sighed.
We walked down the streets of New Orleans. It was quiet between us. Finally I spoke.
"Come on, Elsa. I'm really trying here."
"Jack, I just don't think you are. I mean, when's the last time you showed me that you loved me?"
"I tell you I love you."
"But I want to know."
Just then I heard a girl sing
How does she know you love her?
How does she know she's yours?
I looked confusingly at the girl. "Can I help you?"
Just then a man behind her started singing.
How does she know that you love her?
Then the girl sang again.
How do you show her you love her?
Elsa grabbed me and sat me down on a bench.
"Sit down Jack. You might learn something."
The man and woman began to sing together.
How does she know that you really, really, truly love her?
How does she know that you love her?
How do you show her you love her?
How does she know that you really, really, truly love her?
The girl then sang the rest.
It's not enough to take the one you love for granted
You must remind her, or she'll be inclined to say...
"How do I know he loves me?"
(How does she know that you love her?
How do you show her you love her?)
"How do I know he's mine?"
(How does she know that you really, really, truly love her?)
Well does he leave a little note to tell you you are on his mind?
Send you yellow flowers when the sky is grey? Heyy!
He'll find a new way to show you, a little bit every day
That's how you know, that's how you know!
He's your love...
You've got to show her you need her
Don't treat her like a mind reader
Each day do something to lead her
To believe you love her
Everybody wants to live happily ever after
Everybody wants to know their true love is true...
How do you know he loves you?
(How does she know that you love her?
How do you show her you need her?)
How do you know he's yours?
(How does she know that you really, really, truly-)
Well does he take you out dancin' just so he can hold you close?
Dedicate a song with words meant
Just for you? Ohhh
He'll find his own way to tell you
With the little things he'll do
That's how you know
That's how you know!
He's your love
He's your love...
That's how you know
(La la la la la la la la)
He loves you
(La la la la la la la la)
That's how you know
(La la la la la la la la)
It's true
(La la la la la)
Because he'll wear your favorite color
Just so he can match your eyes
Plan a private picnic
By the fires glow-oohh!
His heart will be yours forever
Something every day will show
That's how you know
(That's how you know)
That's how you know
(That's how you know)
That's how you know
(That's how you know)
That's how you know
(That's how you know)
That's how you know
(That's how you know)
That's how you know
(That's how you know)
That's how you know!
He's your love...
That's how she knows that you love her
That's how you show her you love her
That's how you know...
That's how you know...
He's your love...
Elsa smirked at me and stood up. I got up and followed.
"Ok Elsa. I'll try harder to show you that I love you." I said.
...
The rest of the day went very well. Elsa was starting to laugh. It was great to hear her laugh. We went back to the hotel room. Elsa kissed me on the cheek when she entered the room. I shut the door and went to kiss her. But she put her hands up, stopping me.
"Jack, not now. We need to fix our problem first." She said.
"What? What's it going to take?"
"Jack, you need to spend more time for the kids and me. I want to have more kids but I need to know that you will be there for them." Elsa said.
"Elsa, you know I can't. I'm a guardian. I need to be around the world." I said.
"Jack! You missed all the important things in your children's life. You messed up Isa's prom. You missed all three of their graduations. Isa's wedding. Will's tryouts for the Olympics. And then Sven's wedding."
I started to get angry. "Elsa, why do you care? When I was home, I spent all the time I could with them. The little moments matter."
Elsa turned away. "But I don't want to go to the big moments alone."
I grabbed my staff and threw my wedding ring onto the bed. "I'm gonna get some air."
I opened the door and slammed it shut.
I flew up onto the roof of the hotel. I stared out into the lights of New Orleans. The music hit my ears. I shut my eyes and listened.
Suddenly I felt like I fell into water, but it felt like sand. I tried to open my eyes, but they stayed shut.
Suddenly it stopped. I was able to open my eyes. I was in a room of red. A table was in the room.
"Hello Jack."
I looked to see Pitch. Staring coldly at me.
Oh boy Pitch is Back!
Tell me what you think his plan is.
