AFTER THAT, WE HARDLY PARTED EACH other's company. Even without saying the words, we both knew that these days together might be our last. We'd meet first thing in the morning in our favorite tree. We'd say goodbye to one another late at night outside my cottage door. We'd spend hours in the library secret room---our only truly safe haven---wrapped in one another's arms.

It was as if we both felt the time slipping through our fingers. As if our relationship was like a vacation, with an end date looming, and we were desperate to make the most of the time we had left. We didn't talk about it, of course. Our conversations stayed light and easy. Both of us danced around the subject of the upcoming royal visit from a certain foreign princess, which, it seemed, the rest of Arendelle was spending all their time preparing for. Cakes were being made. Ice sculptures designed. Both great halls scrubbed down within an inch of their lives and colorfully decorated for a royal ball. I was pretty sure Olina hadn't left the kitchen in a week and certainly hadn't gotten any sleep. She almost bit our heads off when Agnarr stole a krumkake from a towering pile.

It was wonderful. It was also terrible. And so, so wrong. Every day, I told myself that this would be the last. That I would cut this all off while I was still able to be the one to do so. Before the choice was no longer mine to make.

But then I'd see Agnarr's hopeful smile. Feel his fingers stroking my skin. And I would once again be powerless to stop any of it. I was already too far gone. Drowning in love, with no desire to come up for air, even if it meant my doom.

And my doom it would be. The princess would be here in a week. We were running out of time.
