Dear Anna,

Merry Christmas! It's okay that you didn't get me a present. I don't really need or want anything, anyway. Your daily visits to my door are enough for me. I'm sorry if I haven't told you yet, but your visits are the highlight of my day.

I wish I could see your tree. I bet it's the prettiest in the whole kingdom. But I can't. I know you probably hate that word by now, but it's the only explanation I'm allowed to give you. Papa says it's safer for you to not know the details. Maybe someday when I have more control, I'll come out. I hope.

Love,

Elsa


Next up: Time jump to spring. (I already have those chapters written. It's a matter of typing them up and then uploading them.)

Thanks for reading! More chapters coming soon! :)
