Elsa and Bruno had returned back to Casita, their hands locked together. When Bruno opened the door, the two were relieved that Alma was no longer in the kitchen.
"We'd better keep things quiet in case she's nearby." Bruno whispered.
"I agree." Elsa whispered back.
Bruno quietly closed the door then placed his hands against Elsa's waist while she laid her hands against his chest. They stared at each other then had kissed. When they pulled apart, Bruno smiled lovingly then ran his fingers against Elsa's braid, losing himself in her ice blue eyes.
"If you're looking for a place to sleep, there is the nursery. I bet Mirabel won't mind having a roomie." Bruno chuckled.
"Thanks."
"Until tomorrow. Goodnight, mi corazon."
Bruno had kissed Elsa again then her hand. Elsa touched Bruno's cheek then had pressed their foreheads together. After yet again staring at each other, Bruno kissed Elsa's forehead then had left the kitchen leaving Elsa standing there. The heated sensation in Elsa's body did not go away yet but she did not want it go away. She was in love and it felt amazing.
Elsa went up to the nursery at the same time Bruno was walking over to his door. Elsa looked over at him then he looked over at her. Bruno mouthed 'I love you' then smiled at her then Elsa blushed then nodded and mouthed 'I love you too'. Elsa opened the door to the nursery and closed it. Mirabel heard it and stirred then sat up and put on her glasses then saw Elsa standing at the door.
"Elsa, you didn't leave?" Mirabel asked, surprised.
"Bruno and I had a talk. He convinced me to stay." Elsa replied.
"Uh-huh. Just 'convinced' you. The blush on your face says different." Mirabel said, smirking.
"Oh...Well..."
Mirabel chuckled then got off the bed then went over to Elsa and grabbed her hands, an excited smile on her face.
"Come on. What were you and Tio exactly up to?" Mirabel asked.
Elsa looked around to make sure the door was really closed along with the window then she bit her lower lip then turned to Mirabel.
"Maybe...maybe we did kiss. And maybe we're in love now." Elsa finally said.
Mirabel let out a squeal of happiness then she hugged Elsa tightly causing her to yelp in surprise then hug Mirabel back. After they hugged, Mirabel grabbed Elsa's hands again.
"I'm so happy for you and Tio, Elsa. You two are gonna make such a great couple. I'm glad you found one another. Antonio's gonna be thrilled too." Mirabel said.
"Let's just hope it's only you and Antonio who know about this. I'm not exactly trusted by the rest of the family right now. It's better to keep this a secret till things are settled down."
"Especially Abuela. I don't think she really wants you back in Casita." Mirabel added, now frowning in concern.
"Can you really keep our secret, Mirabel?" Elsa asked.
"Of course I can." Mirabel assured, nodding.
"Thank you."
Mirabel and Elsa hugged again then Mirabel returned to her bed while Elsa had grabbed a blanket then laid it out on the floor. Mirabel propped herself on her elbow against her pillow then looked at Elsa.
"So...How long was your kiss?" Mirabel asked, winking.
"Goodnight Mirabel." Elsa said, firmly.
"Goodnight Elsa."
Elsa had laid down on the blanket then both she and Mirabel had gone to sleep. Inside of Bruno's room, he was sitting in his chair and petting one of his rats. Bruno could not sleep. He did not want to sleep. All he wanted to do was think about Elsa. His beautiful snow queen. Bruno then heard a soft knock against his door.
"Come in." Bruno called out.
The door opened and Bruno was surprised to see Antonio standing there, rubbing his eyes. Bruno went over to his youngest sobrino then knelt down to his level.
"Tonio. What are you doing out of bed? It's late."
"I couldn't sleep. I needed to know if you talked to Elsa and made her feel better enough to stay with us."
Bruno chuckled then he picked up Antonio then carried him over to his chair then had sat down with Antonio on his lap while Antonio looked up at him, expectantly.
"Well...Is she staying, Tio?" Antonio asked.
"She decided to stay." Bruno replied, nodding.
"What changed her mind?"
Bruno's eyes grew wide then his cheeks reddened then he quickly cleared his throat then stood back up then picked up Antonio much to his confusion.
"Hey, like I said it's getting late. Let's get you back to bed."
"Tio...Are you and Elsa in love?"
"In love? Heh, heh. Whatever gave you that idea, Tonio?" Bruno asked, nervously.
"I saw the way you two kept looking at each other during dinner. It's the same way Mami and Papi sometimes look at each other. Is Elsa gonna be my new Tia?"
"Uh. Uh. It's kinda early to for me and her to discuss that, kid. But we'll let you know when we're ready. Now then, let's get you back into your room." Bruno said, still nervously, his blush deepening.
Bruno had left his room then had carried Antonio back into his room. He had placed him into his hammock then covered him up with the blanket then kissed his forehead then ruffled his hair.
"You get some sleep while it's still dark, okay amigo?"
Antonio nodded then went to sleep. Bruno sighed in relief then left Antonio's room, quietly closing the door behind him. He sighed heavily then leaned against the door. He was glad it was Antonio who just interrogated him and not his M'ma. If Alma were to find out, he feared for what she'd do to Elsa if she knew. Bruno could not let that happen. He couldn't.
