Here's the second verse of "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?", just like I promised.
June 24, 1836
Dear Elsa,
I spent time in my garden again today, but then it started raining, so I had to come inside. I got bored, so I rode our bike in the hall and then down the stairs. It was fun, until I crashed into the suit of armor at the bottom. Luckily, I fell into his arms, so I pretended he was my knight in shining armor who saved me from the bad guy. Then I went to the picture gallery to say hi to my new friend Joan. We talked for a long time, and then I got bored again and laid under the big clock in the library. It gets a little lonely, all these empty rooms, just watching the hours tick by. I miss you.
Love,
Anna
Dear Anna,
I don't think it's safe for you to bring me letters anymore. Something happened today that I don't know how to put into words. Something to do with my curse.
I messed up today, Anna. I messed up bad. I lost another fight. I lost to myself. I thought I was making progress, but I was just kidding myself. I ruined my wall with my curse. I couldn't control it. It just burst out of me. No one can help me anymore, not you or Kai or Gerda, not even Mama and Papa. I can't even let anyone touch me, either. I don't want to hurt them. I don't want to hurt you. Please don't knock on my door anymore. You need to stay away from me. You need to stay safe.
Love,
Elsa
You may have noticed that I included a bit of the lyrics at the end of Anna's letter. ;)
Now, I don't know how many more letters there are going to be, but rest assured, they will get fewer and farther between. I think after this one, I'll start skipping whole years until we get to the third verse. There might be a few during the two weeks of the king and queen's absence and then they'll get farther apart again. Also, the letters will get sadder as the years go by, especially on Elsa's end. Just wanted to give you a heads up.
Thanks for reading! More chapters coming soon! :)
