Anna keeps her eyes focused on Kristoff's. She doesn't know how could he possibly understand that she likes Elsa. How did he understand? Is she that obvious? She can't help but be shocked and speechless.

"How…what..eh!?" She says to herself in a whisper. Kristoff chuckles and sits next to his cousin. He takes her hands and squeezes them.

"Anna, calm down. Just tell me if I'm wrong or right. Do you like her? I won't tell her, don't worry."

Anna looks at his cousin, she can clearly see that he means what he's saying, he won't tell her doctor anything. He's trustworthy.

"Yes. It's her." She says with a soft voice. Her lips show a little smile.

"I knew it!" Kristoff says while he's putting her hands up just like fans do when their favorite team win a match.

"How did you find out it's her?" Anna watches him with a curious look. His cousin is really something.

"I understood it this morning. When I was here with Elsa. She acted differently than always and I saw how you were so alive next to her. I looked at your eyes and I understood. You're like an open-book to me, dear cousin." He smirks to her.

She punches his shoulder.

"Oh come on! I wasn't that obvious!"

"Well, maybe she didn't notice it, but I did. I told you, I know you and I don't miss a thing."

She doesn't even remember that Kristoff was there that morning, she was focused only on Elsa. How can somebody not notice how gorgeous is she?

Kristoff smiles at the younger woman. He's happy that she likes someone, he just hopes that she won't be rejected. He may not know very well his boss, but he can say that she doesn't let people in and it could be difficult for Anna to gain some room in the Ice Queen's heart. But maybe, thinking about that morning and how Elsa spoke about Anna and how she acted with her, the redhead already has a special place on the blonde doctor's heart.

"You know, I'm happy that you now know who I like. One thing less to say to you." The young woman says. Then her face changes. "Oh.. but soon I'll be sent at home and I won't see her again.."

Kristoff understand what his cousin is trying to say with those words.

"That's not entirely true. You know, you can come back here. You need to check on your leg and you can come to visit me at work and with that excuse you can see her too. So it's not over between you two. Why don't you ask her for her phone number or I don't know?"

"Do you think she would give me her number..?"

Kristoff thinks about it, he suggested it but he isn't really sure that his boss would give it to her.

"You can always try whenever you're ready or want." He says thinking that would be enough for now. She nods and watches at the clock in the room.

"I guess you need to do something now." He looks at her confused, but when he notices the time he knows what she's implying.

"Shit.. I need to go! See you later!" He runs out of the room to go to the cafeteria.

Anna chuckles to herself watching her cousin. She thinks he shouldn't be late today, he has to ask Mandy out. She puts her headphones on and presses play on her iPod.

Kristoff is now at the cafeteria and watches around him to see if Mandy is there somewhere. He finds her at a table, she's eating a salad with some chicken. He takes a deep breath, runs an hand through his hairs and walks to her.

"Hi Mandy." He says a bit nervous. The pediatric nurse turns her head and looks at him and with a knowing smile she says.

"Oh, hello Dr. Bijorman." He can't help to smile at her greeting.

"I-I wanted to know how are you doing..?" He's still nervous, he's afraid that she will reject him.

"I'm fine, thanks. And you? How is your cousin Anna?"

"She's fine, soon she'll come back at home." He swallows hard and decides that it's time. It's time to be a man and ask to the woman he thinks he loves that question. The question. "Mandy, I was thinking.. are you free Friday evening?" Mandy looks at him, she understands what he's trying to ask to her.

"I don't have any plan, why?" she smiles at him. His confidence increase at that answer.

"W-would you like to go out with me? For a dinner?" she stays silent for second just to enjoy the view of the young man in front of her who is dying from nervousness.

"As a date?"

"Y-yes."

"Then..my answer is.." she tries to look like she's going to reject the offer. He doesn't understand what's happening, why doesn't she just tell him yes or no? Is she rejecting him?

"Yes. I'd love to go out for a date with you, Kristoff." She smiles at him.

He can't believe in what it's happening, she said yes. He has just succeeded in asking her out. He wasn't rejected. He can't help but nods to himself and be as happy as he could be. 'This is the best day of my life.'

Elsa is in her office reading at the same papers she kept holding during all morning.

Those papers are from the courthouse.

Hans will stay in jail for a long time, she's finally safe. He won't come back. She can close that dark chapter of her life. She can start to live. She has a chance to be happy.

She reaches her bag which is in a locker in her office and takes out from it her wallet. She opens it and takes an old photo. She returns to her chair and watches at the picture and a little tear runs on her cheek.

"Mother, father.. I'm sorry if I don't make you proud of me. I don't know if you're watching at me from wherever you are, if you are, I am sorry for what happened to me. I am sorry I wasn't brave enough to fight for myself back then. But I tried to do the right thing during this past weeks. And now, the other women and I are safe. He won't harm anyone anymore."

The picture shows Katherine and Joseph Winters holding a little Elsa. In this photo she's 6 years old, it's Christmas and they're next the fireplace. This is one of the best memories of Elsa's childhood. Despite her parents were strict, they loved her and this photo is the proof. Little Elsa has in her hands a stuffed animal, it's a cat. She remembers that she kept asking for her parents for a cat, but her mother was allergic to it, so her father decided to buy a stuffed cat trying to make his daughter happy, even if it wasn't a real cat. And she was.

After some moments holding that picture between her hands, Elsa hears a knock on her office's door.

"Come in." after a second the door opens. "Dr. Summers, what can I do for you?"

He smiles at her. "Good morning, Dr. Winters. I wanted to see my daughter's medical record, you told me that she could be send home soon." At that she can feel some pain on her chest. Is she having an heart attack? No. She just doesn't like to remember that Anna will be dismissed soon and she won't see her again. She searches for the papers the man asked for and handles them.

"Here and yes, she's doing fine. As I told you, my only concern is about her broken leg, she needs to take care of it and have her daily injections." He looks at her and then at his daughter's medical record.

"So her heart is fine?"

"Yes, sir."

"All right, then she'll be dismissed." She nods and takes again the papers and puts them on her desk. "And tomorrow you'll be assigned again to your patients. Dr. Bijorman has done a wonderful work, but he still needs to learn a lot."

"Sure." He nods and walks out from the office leaving Elsa alone.

She looks at her clock and notices that it's time for Anna's injection. 'Tomorrow I won't need to be in her room. Tomorrow I'll come back to my patients. Tomorrow I'll be a surgeon again, I won't be a babysitter anymore. Then.. why am I not happy about it? Why am I upset? I shouldn't be. She's just a patient. Isn't she..?' She stands up from her chair and reaches the doorknob. She takes a breath and walks to that room.

"Oh her eyes, her eyes

Make the stars looks they're not shining.

Her hair, her hair

Falls perfectly without her trying

She's so beautiful and I tell her every day.

Yeah."

Anna smiles thinking about someone's braid on her shoulder. She's always loved that song and it's nice that it comes right now, it that specific moment.

"When I see your face

There's not a thing I would change

'Cause you're amazing

Just the way you are

And when you smile

The whole word stops and stares for a while

'Cause, girl, you're amazing

Just the way you are."

Elsa is in the threshold watching at the redhead, listening to her wonderful voice. She doesn't believe she ever heard a voice like that, it's a voice of.. an angel, maybe? She doesn't know, but she could spend hours just listening to her.

Anna isn't aware of the blonde frozen at the door. She just keeps singing that song. And hearing the lyrics all she can think about is her doctor.

"Her lips, her lips

I could kiss them all day if she'd let me

Her laugh, her laugh

She hates but I think it's so sexy

She's so beautiful

And I tell her every day."

Elsa doesn't know why but feels something unpleasant in her stomach, because it's something she never experienced before. With that feeling she can feel her body warm up, another thing that she isn't used to feel.

She decides that it's time to interrupt the redhead, even if she doesn't want to, but she has to. She needs those feelings go away for now. She walks near Anna and notices that she doesn't seem to be aware of the blonde's presence. She touches carefully the redhead's shoulder and she stops immediately singing and turns her head.

Anna's face become red in record time and she takes off her headphones and looks embarrassed.

"Oh.. hi Doc!" She says a little bit too loud making the blonde blinks for a moment and take a step back.

"You.. you sing very well." The doctor manages to say.

"Thanks.." if it's possible Anna blushes even more than before. She can't believe her crush has just complimented her.

After an awkward silence between the two woman, Elsa decides to speak first, she clears her throat.

"So.. I'm here because it's time for your injection and to let you know that tomorrow you'll be no longer a patient of this hospital. You'll be back at home."

"Oh.." that's all she can say at the moment. She lets the blonde to do her job. The doctor takes her arm and starts with the injection, trying to not harm her. She gently rubs the skin before and after the action. She knows that this isn't something she has to do, but deep inside of her, Elsa doesn't want a nurse to touch Anna. She doesn't understand why she's acting so strangely in these days. Everything started when Anna came in the ER. She changed almost everything in Elsa's life, and she doesn't understand why she lets her doing so. Elsa isn't the kind of person who lets people near to her, nothing less lets people change her way to interact.

Anna takes courage and speaks up "I won't be able to see you again.."

At that Elsa stops rubbing Anna's skin and looks in the redhead's eyes. She sees sadness in them and she's aware there's a bit of it in her eyes too. She knows she is showing her emotions right now, but she can't help to do that and she sadly sighs.

"Yes. Honestly I hope I won't see you again.." the doctors says but as soon as she realizes what she's just said she notices Anna's eyes that are about to let a little tear coming down. She quickly speaks again trying to explain herself better.

"I mean.. I don't want to see you again the ER.. especially if it's something relating to your heart. I just want you to be well, not that I don't enjoy your company.." Elsa blinks at her words, just like Anna does. 'What!? I've just said this!? I've just admitted I enjoy her company.. oh God. I shouldn't expose myself like this..'

"I enjoy your company too. You're not like everyone thinks. You're a good person and it's nice being next to you, you should let people in, you know?" She says softly at her doctor. Elsa stays quiet for a moment, she doesn't know how to respond to that.

"I'm not comfortable in letting people in.. and honestly I don't care what people think about me." 'I care about what you think about me..wait what!?' "And it's not like we won't see each other again, you'll need to come back her to check on your leg and take off the plaster cast."

"Right, I guess I can't stay with that forever." She points at the white solid bandage on her broken leg. Suddenly she realizes that this will be their last day together in that room, maybe she could manage to do something special. She comes up with a brilliant idea.

"I think I have an issue. A big one."

Elsa looks confused at her patients words. "Which is?"

"Well, you know my favorite pizza." Elsa is more confused than before, she doesn't understand why she's talking about that, then Anna talks again. "I need to find out which one is your favorite, maybe we could some pizza this evening after your shifts ends."

Elsa sees the hope in the younger woman's eyes, she doesn't think about it twice.

"It would be nice, try to guess it. When I come back here, before my shift ends, you'll tell me which is my favorite pizza, and if you're right, we'll have another pizza night." Elsa can't believe she's just said that. She fights a smile and starts walking away when Anna stops her with her voice.

"I think we'll have another secret dinner together." Anna smiles to her beautiful doctor and knows that she's falling deep for her.

Elsa nods to her incredible patient and exits from the office. It's the first time in her life that she's acting like this, and she wants, she needs to understand why. She walks to her office and takes her phone.

"Ehy, I need to ask you something."

Author's Note: Hi everybody! I hope you'll like the new chapter. I know that maybe "Just the way you are" is a bit of a cliché, but when I was reaching that point that song played on my iPod and I thought "well.. maybe it could be a nice idea putting it there."

Thanks for your continue support and for opinions, it's nice to see you're liking this story. I know that maybe it's not the best story, but I'm glad that it's enough to be liked at least a bit.
