After they had finished cleaning the shop and closing up, Kristoff called over to Anna, who was digging around in her car. "Make sure you get it all!"

"I know, I know!"

He heard her holler small curses and little screeches as she touched things she didn't know were there - Anna had, after all, described her car as her own personal dumpster. It honestly amused him, how messy she was outside of work. She was the one who made sure that everything was in it's place on the shelves and got frustrated when customers put things in the wrong spot… so seeing her car in such disarray was funny.

It's organized chaos, she defended. I know exactly where everything is.

Kristoff retreated to the shed and pulled out a large steel drum that had obviously been well used, before hauling it over towards a grass free area, where two concrete blocks rested, behind the shop. "All right, bring it all over here, Freckles."

"What are we doing?" Hoisting the large box to sit on top of her car, Anna slammed the door shut before retrieving the box and practically skipping over to her friend. "What is that for? I thought we were just going to toss the stuff…"

"Oh, Red…" he sighed, laughing and taking the (surprisingly heavy) box from her arms. "You haven't been through a serious break up before, have you?"

She looked confused. "No…? Have you?"

Kristoff pressed his lips together in a pout when she laughed, shoving her shoulder with his hand. "No. I use this for other things. Bills… Whatever. Anyway…" He stepped towards the massive pile of small logs that sat by the shop, that Anna knew were for keeping the wood stove going inside, and started loading them into the drum. "The best way to get rid of this stuff is to burn it."

"Wait, what?" She stepped backwards from the drum, biting her lip and glancing between it and Kristoff. "That… That doesn't sound very safe. And what if I change my mind and want this stuff back?"

"Nope. Not how it works."

"But…"

"No buts!" Kristoff ran back to the shed, pulled out some newspaper, and immediately started balling it up as he walked over, building a nest to start the fire on. "You seemed like you wanted to start new… Am I right?" He pulled a book of matches from his pocket, lighting a few and dropping them in one by one.

Anna worried her bottom lip again, taking in a deep breath and knitting her eyebrows together. "Yeah… That's right…"

They watched the flames lick the logs until they caught, slowly growing as they consumed the wood.

Kristoff smirked up at her. "Then come on. This will be satisfying."

He realized how it might seem, as he wasn't exactly being subtle about liking her… that he was trying to make her move on faster than she was prepared to… But he hoped she didn't think that. He hoped that this would really help her.

Anna moved towards the box, starting to dig through it, before pulling out a picture frame. "He took me to Disney World… he was really grumpy the whole time… Like, look at his face!"

Kristoff glanced at it, and couldn't help but laugh. There was sweet, bubbly Anna, with a pair of Minnie Mouse ears on, smiling brightly, next to Hans, who looked like he'd rather be anywhere but there, standing in front of Cinderella's Castle. "Why would you even frame this? He looks miserable."

"Because it's the only picture he let us take the whole time!" She clenched the frame a little tighter between her fingers, before flipping it over and undoing the clasps. "My sister gave me the frame though, so that I'm keeping…"

Watching as she carefully pulled the picture out and placed the frame back into the box, Kristoff noticed the sadness that was dancing in her eyes as she looked at it one more time. "You don't have to, if you don't want to…"

"No." Anna turned her eyes up to him, and smiled, nodding firmly. "You're right. I want a new beginning." She stepped closer to the drum, "that means no more dwelling on the past," and quickly dropped the picture down into the flames.

A moment of silence passed, where Kristoff was worried she was going to dive in after the picture… until she jumped up with her hands over her head, howling with laughter.

"That! Felt! Amazing!"

He stepped closer to her as she started digging through the box again, eyebrows raising when she pulled out a dirty and worn jersey.

"His dumb jersey from before I even met him… Played lacrosse in high school, but wasn't good enough to get a scholarship…" She clenched it tighter in his hands, scowling. "So he gave it up, said sports scholarships were for idiots who couldn't get into college any other way…"

Kristoff bit his tongue. This guy just sounded absolutely awful. Why would someone like Anna ever date someone like him? Much less get engaged to him?

She shrugged, balling the jersey up in her hands. "I found it in his attic and took it… So he won't miss it."

Into the fire it went, catching almost instantaneously, and Kristoff was suddenly worried by the expression that was crossing her features. She was starting to look crazed.

"All right there, Freckles?"

Anna nodded and hopped back over to the box, pulling out things three, four at a time. "Amazing! I'm amazing! This is amazing!"

Stepping back and just letting her do what she needed to do (which consisted of plenty of cursing, screaming, and laughing…), Kristoff couldn't help but scratch at his head nervously. He didn't want her to go crazy, but this definitely seemed to be helping, at the very least.

After about ten minutes, the box was completely empty, and Anna was breathing rather heavily, digging through her pockets. "Last thing…"

When she pulled the ring out of her pocket, holding it up in front of her face, Kristoff practically sprinted over to her side. "Whoa there…" He grabbed firmly onto her wrist and smiled. "You could probably get some good money for that. You sure you want to put it in there?"

"Yes," she mumbled without hesitation. "Yes I am. I don't want to ever see this ring ever again."

"It might not melt. I don't know how hot it'll get." Kristoff shrugged when she looked up at him, and frowned when she pouted.

"That's fine." Stepping forward, Anna held the ring up. "If you find it in here later, just throw it out. I want to pretend it melted."

And in it went, dropping in between the logs, causing a few new cracks of the fire to sound.

There was a sudden relaxation in her shoulders, and Anna took a few deep breaths before spinning around and jumping at Kristoff, throwing her arms around his neck.

He stumbled back before registering what was happening, and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Thank you. Thankyou," she almost sobbed into his scarf, burying her nose against him.

"You're welcome, Anna…"
