Chapter 20
I can't believe it. I just admitted to him what I can't even admit to myself. That I want to see how Jack and I would turn out, if we were together. I want to. I really do.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have..."I look up, I was looking at the ground, and Jack's smiling brighter than the sun, at me. Me. Here. Now. The light reaches me and I get a chill, like cold sunlight. If that were real, I'd never go inside.
"Elsa, you should have said that. Why didn't you want to be with me before?"
"Because you might not be able to handle being King of Arendelle, a Guardian, a man for me, a dad if we would have kids, and.."
"Elsa, whoa. Kids? Let's not get ahead of ourselves." We laugh.
"So, was that like your way of proposing? 'Cuz I think it worked."
"Oh did it? So yes, you would like to be King of Arendelle and a man and a father. That's nice. Where will you find a wife?"
"Is that your way of hinting for me to propose?"
"Maybe." I whisper.
"It is, isn't it?"
"Well, you have about a month to think about it. So, technically, you could propose, or you could not propose. It's entirely your choice."
"Sure it is."
"It is!" I nudge him playfully. I'm never like this. I'm, happy. That's all I've ever wanted, really. And now, because Jack will stay with me, I can be. I'll give up my throne, I don't care, as long as I can be around Jack.
Now, what about Arnie?
