Rapunzel brought her brush around on the canvas. She was letting her mind wander, not caring what appeared under her brush. But when she paused for a moment to look over her work, she was surprised at what she saw.
It was a memory, crystal clear in her mind and now brought onto canvas. She didn't remember the boy who was floating beside her, but she remembered his voice. I love you, Rapunzel.
Jack stood at the back of the room, tears forming in his eyes. He floated over and saw the picture she was painting. Water spilled down his face, turning into frost and spreading across his face.
"I knew that you would stop seeing me one day," He murmured into the dark silence, still crying, "But why did it have to come so soon?"
"Jack Frost," She muttered, running her finger along the lean shape in the photo. Jack Frost?
Her muttering his name only made Jack feel worse. It gave him the hope and love that he had lost long ago, but only to be taken away again. The door opened on the other side of the room and a head peeked in. Rapunzel flipped the painting over and looked over at Eugene with a smile.
All of this just tore Jack apart once again. I had her once... and now you took her away. He glanced at the Fitzherberts once more before turning and flying out of the castle, tears streaming down his face.
"I love you, Rapunzel, and I still do," Was all he murmured before he wiped his tears onto the sleeve of his hoodie.
