    About this ebook

    Proposals don’t come with instructions.

    Walter Lucas knows his boyfriend has been looking forward to the newest movie about a certain snow princess, but he isn’t prepared for the reality that is the front-row seat of Kelly Davidson’s cartoon obsession. There’s more going on in November than just the movie, however—Walter’s been working up the nerve to ask Kelly a certain question. When Walter set up his elaborate Thanksgiving marriage proposal, it seemed like such a good idea, but as the holiday, the movie premiere, and the question Walter never dreamt he’d be asking anyone converge…let’s just say even Hollywood’s best couldn’t sing and dance their way out of Walter’s tangle.

    Frozen Heart - Heidi Cullinan

    Thanks to

    All the fans of the Love Lessons series, especially the fellow Disney nuts like Kelly, who encourage me to write silly shorts like this one. Thanks as always to my husband Dan for helping me keep this self-publishing machine running, but thanks most of all to my patrons, especially Rosie Moewe, Pamela Bartual, Erin Sharpe, regencyfan93, Sarah Plunkett, and Sarah M.

    Author’s Note

    This short story contains elements considered spoilers for the novel preceding it in its timeline.

    Love is putting someone else’s needs before yours.

    —Olaf, Frozen

    Chapter One

    A FEW DAYS after they moved into the Minneapolis apartment in late June, Walter Lucas found his boyfriend Kelly Davidson curled up with a blanket, leaning against a pile of boxes. He had a laptop balanced on his knees, headphones plugged into his ears, hands pressed as if in prayer in front of his lips, and he looked as if he might cry at any second. But when Walter rushed toward him, Kelly held up a hand to halt Walter without breaking eye contact from the computer screen.

    Don’t. His voice was thick and rough. I’m having a moment.

    Walter stopped, less concerned now and more confused. Honey?

    Shutting his eyes, Kelly drew a deep breath, then exhaled slowly before opening his eyes again. He still didn’t look away from the screen. "The teaser trailer for Frozen just came out."

    Walter almost asked, Frozen what? but then he remembered. "Oh. The new Disney movie." He hesitated, wanting to ask how it was, to show interest, but everything about Kelly at that second screamed, Do not engage. Walter nodded at the bedroom with a soft smile. I’ll be in there when you’re done. Take your time.

    Kelly didn’t so much as acknowledge he’d spoken, too busy watching. Walter lingered a second longer, then disappeared into the room, shutting the door behind him. As soon as he was inside, he got out his phone and pulled up the trailer.

    Frowning, Walter flopped onto the bed and watched it again. He bit his bottom lip, worrying Kelly’s class ring on his finger. He watched it one more time.

    He didn’t get it.

    Rather, he didn’t understand what about an animated snowman and a reindeer fighting over a carrot on a frozen pond would make his boyfriend act like he’d seen God. It was cute, but it was slapstick and somewhat lame. Not just prat humor but kid humor. Kelly had been analyzing the soon-to-release trailer for weeks now, discussing production notes he’d read about the movie, how it was supposed to be a take on The Snow Queen. Walter knew more about the upcoming Disney film than he’d ever thought he’d know about anything: who had been cast, why, how long the project had been in the works—since the 1940s, it turned out, which kind of blew his mind. He understood this was important to Kelly, a new film
