Anna wakes up a few hours after the surgery. She's looking around the room and it's a bit dark, then she realizes looking at the window that it's night. But she doesn't know what time is it. It's quiet and there are fewer nurses, she has never been at the hospital after the sunset.

"You're awake. How are you feeling?" the girl looks up and recognizes the blonde in front of her. The doctor is checking on her injury with a focused look on her face. Her eyes start to look up to the redhead and suddenly Anna starts to blush and be a bit agitated.

'Oh no! My hair! It must be a mess..' she's about to fix up her hair when she's stopped by the voice of the woman in front of her.

"You shouldn't be concerned about your hair, miss Summer. You have slept more then you should have to. Your mother waited until the end of visiting-time and then she went home. I don't know if your father is still in the hospital." Elsa takes the medical record. "The surgery went well, we stopped the bleeding. It wasn't nothing to serious." Anna's looking at her as if she's waiting for something. The blonde doesn't understand what's going on and she's starting to feel a bit uncomfortable with the situation. "There is something wrong? Are you feeling pain? Should I give you some pain killers?" the redhead shakes her head.

"You haven't told me your name yet. The braid covers up the name on your coat."

"I'm Doctor Elsa Winters." Anna smiles. 'Why is she smiling? What's funny?'. The patient sees the confusion on the blonde's face.

"You have a nice name. Winters, it suits you, you know?"

'Because of the all Ice Queen stuff?' Elsa grimaces. She hears Anna's chuckles. Has Elsa just said that aloud?

"No, it's not because of how others call you. I noticed that you have a beautiful cap with snowflakes on it and your skin is so pale. No wait.. I didn't mean that you look pale as a dead body! Oh God.. I didn't mean it neither, what I wanted to say is that you have a wonderful skin, it looks like soft as the snow in the early morning.. it's awkward, no, not you're awkward, I am awkward, you're gorgeous, no wait what?" the girl's face becomes redder and redder. 'Anna you should shut up! Kristoff tells you always.. oh God if he find out about this he will mock you about this forever! I need to learn how to stop my mouth..'. Elsa is speechless and a bit shocked by the young girl's words. Nobody told her something like that, well, when she was at high school there were some boys who tried to hook up with her but without success. This is the first time after a long time that something like this happens to her. The doctor doesn't know what to do, she stays there, motionless, looking at the redhead. She's feeling some warm building up her face. 'Am I.. blushing? What? Impossible... There's no way that I'm blushing.. She's so red, like if she's on fire. Get over yourself Elsa, say something!'

"Tomorrow morning we'll do some exams in order to make sure that your healing process goes as it should. By your father's request we'll check up your heart too." Elsa looks at her watch, trying to regain some control on herself and she realizes only now that it's late and in theory her shift finished hours ago. "Get some rest."

"You too, you look very tired. Good night." Anna's lips give to the blonde a genuine smile and Elsa goes away, without any other words. The redhead thinks she didn't want to create a uncomfortable situation for the doctor.

While Dr. Winters is finishing her work and is about to go home, Anna looks at the window of her room. Her last thoughts are about the stars that she'd like to see but can't, because she has to stay in bed, and about the icy blue eyes of her doctor.

Once it's morning, Anna's father goes to his daughter's room, to know how she's doing. He finds her sleeping. His daughter has never been a morning person, so the hospital life will be a real challenge to her: wake ups and medical examinations early in the morning and nothing to do. Anna is that kind of girl who can't stay still, she's like a child on a sugar rush 24/7. For sure, she'll find a way to get up and leave the bed or at least she'll try to corrupt some nurse to stay with her and take her for a wheelchair ride in the hospital. Kai gets closer to his daughter, he wakes her up touching gently her nose. He smiles as soon as he sees his daughter's eyes opening.

"Mh.. morning dad.. What time is it? I want to sleep.."

"Good morning Anna, it's 7:30, the doctor comes here to check on you soon, and I thought it was better that I was the one waking you up. How are you feeling?" Her father caresses her hair for a bit before she tries to sit.

"I'm feeling well, I wanted to sleep more though.. Ohi, why wasn't Kristoff in the ER with Dr. Winters?"

"You're my daughter, I want the best for you, and she is. I'm not saying that your cousin isn't good at his job, but I prefer her as your doctor. And Kristoff has to make experience, so he's replacing temporarily Dr. Winters checking up her patients, while she's busy with you."

Anna sighs, she wanted her cousin to be her doctor, but when her father decides something there's no way to make him change his mind, probably she got her stubbornness from him. With Kristoff she could have more chances to go around the hospital and not stay in the bed all day long. But with Dr. Winters, Anna doesn't think that this is an available option. The redhead has noticed right away the blonde's professionalism, she takes her job seriously maybe this is the reason why she has a feeling that there's something missing in the doctor: fun. To Anna, Elsa seems so tense, and the redhead thinks that the blonde should loosen up a bit. Focus only on the work isn't too much healthy.

Not long after the father says bye to her daughter, the nurses start to check up Anna waiting the Dr. Winters' coming.

Anna is chatting and joking with the nurses when at one point the air in the room changes. Where shortly before there was relax now it seems there's some tension. (Positively or not, she doesn't know yet) Elsa is surprised by this change in the room after her coming. She chooses to not give too much thought on the situation.

"Good morning Miss Summers, how are you feeling? Any pain?"

"Morning Doc! No, I'm feeling great, the pain killers work perfectly."

Elsa comes closer to the redhead's leg in order to check the wound and the stitches, she wants to be sure that the girl doesn't get infection. Anna jolts for a moment at the contact with the cold finger of the doctor. It's not a reaction to the pain, although she felt a mild discomfort (probably due to the stitches that pull), but this sensation is from that contact, short-term between her skin and Elsa's fingers while removing the bandage. As if there had been a slight electric shock, but it wasn't one of those unpleasant.

Satisfied that the wound seems to heal as it should, Dr. Winters takes the medical record and starts to read it and fill it out, telling the nurses which medication the patient will take. "It seems to heal without problems, later today we'll do some leg and chest's X-rays." Elsa marks the time of the end of the visit on the medical record and exits the room.

While the doctor goes out, Anna looks at her and hears the nurses mumble something but can't understand what they're saying. Probably something relating the blonde's attitude.
