The eleventh time she sees him, she wonders why Anna and Kristoff aren't angry at him as usual. Then Gerda tells her that he has taken care of the stables, and that he also helped Kristoff when he had to bath Sven.
Elsa smiles a little, still looking at him through the window of the kitchen.
She finds a white rose on her bed, that afternoon, and a letter in which Hans tells her that he's trying so hard to be worthy of her love.
Elsa holds the rose in her hands and falls to the floor, crying for him. She cries for how sad it must've been for Hans to be loved by his family only when they found out he tried to kill the Queen of Arendelle. The woman he actually loves.
She understands that he's there, looking down at her, only when she hears him saying her name. She stands up and wraps her arms around him, slamming her lips against his, and the white rose falls from her hand.
