hold on when you get love

Despite the late hour, Elsa is reluctant to let Jessica go, but she knows she must. Jessica has to get home before Miles realizes she's still gone and worries, and Elsa needs sleep. She's so glad suddenly that she thought to ask for the day off when she knew they'd be going to the lab. She's weary to the bone, but sleep seems impossible just now.

She watches her go, heart fluttering, and she can't stop smiling as she steps back inside, closing the door gently. Anna is waiting, she knows. She's a little — not embarrassed, exactly. Embarrassment requires shame. Bashful. Blushing and bashful and still half floating, she locks the door and turns around.

"I'm sorry. I hope the waffles aren't too cold."

"Tea sounds great," Anna says, nodding, though she has a feeling that she'd say yes to just about anything right now. It will go well with her waffles and ice cream when she has them, though, and with the way the night has gone, she's in no hurry to head to bed or anything like that. She's far too excited for that. "God, if I can hardly believe it, I can only imagine how you must feel."

Like she could fly away, Elsa thinks. Like she wants to share everything and hoard every detail for herself all at once. Bewildered and brilliant and relieved. "I hardly even know," she says, shaking her head. "It's... it's very new." That's hardly the whole of it, but it's part of it. It's so sudden and fresh that she's not yet certain it's even happened. "And I'm so fond of her."

"I can’t think of anyone better for you," Anna says, shaking her head. Jessica has been a friend to them since they both got here, and encouraged Elsa to use her abilities in ways that make her feel good about them. That, she’s come to find, is the sort of thing that matters most: someone who can show their affection, their loyalty, in such a way that it’s clearly real. "I’m sure she must be so fond of you, too."
