Hey guys, I apologize again for the late update. I really have no excuse other than that I was distracted by other things, not just work. So to make up for it, I'll be posting two chapters today instead of just one. That way, we can get to the king and queen's two-week voyage a little sooner. The second one will be posted later tonight.

Dear Elsa,
Happy Birthday! I think you're fifteen now, if I counted right. The time goes by so slow, it's hard to keep track. I'm sure you know that better than anyone. Oops, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that. You probably don't even like staying in your room all the time. I know I wouldn't. I hate staying in one place too long. I'd rather be running around outside and climbing trees. Except now I can't because it's too cold and snowy outside. Mama and Papa don't like me going outside when it's so cold out. So I'm stuck inside bored with nothing to do. Maybe I'll visit Joan later or something. I don't know.
Love,
Anna
Dear Anna,
Why do you keep sending me letters? You know you won't get a response, whether verbal or written. Do you know what you do to me every time you slide a letter under my door? You upset me, and I lose control. Some days, it's nothing more than a small accident that clears away on its own, but most days, it's something big that's harder to get rid of. Papa gets upset when I make any kind of mistake, no matter if it's big or small. He said again today that I'm not trying hard enough to conceal my emotions. I told him I try every single day, but it's hard, especially when you come to visit my door. It makes me break down every time, because I know it's my fault there's a door between us. I wish it didn't have to be this way, but I'm just too dangerous to be around you. The door is the only thing protecting you from me.
Love,
Elsa
