Wait For Spring
The thing about being hurt all the time is that it numbs you. Dries out your heart and freezes up the corners of your eyes where the tears come from. You have to let part of yourself die all the way back to the ground so that the rest of you can keep living.
Frodo knows that. He knows there are ways to dig past the hurt and coax up new leaves. All it needs is a little bit of help.
So he lets Hope take over his library, and waits for safety and love to thaw both girls out.
