Her gaze then travelled higher, to hands, shirt, waistcoat, and familiar woolen cloak which were also graced with frost.
She then stared at where her hands had grabbed fistfulls of cold cloth, with tears of joy running down her face because she knew that this figure before her was her brother... And then, at last, she looked up at his face.

He sighed.
"Yeah, I've changed a bit, but I'm still me... I'm still the brother you played hopscotch with every day."
Emily was still staring, and then new tears spilled over and she threw herself forward to cry into the front of his shirt.
"Jack!"
Jack crouched down to hold her, tears of his own welling up and freezing into glittering pebbles of ice that fell away.
"I'm here, Emily."}

Oh boy, you have NO IDEA how much I love this fic. 8'I It's basically an AU in which Jack remembered his past life after being brought back as Jack Frost, and that chapter had me in TEARS (specially if you follow the author's advice and listen to Jamie Believes while reading it).
I just have a lot of feels for Jack's little sister okay *lies down and sobs*

And the title's a reference to this equally heart-breaking song.
