That's all he says, okay, just that one word that feels like Elsa's ice invading her heart all over again. Anna's shoulders fall, and it hurts, to see him close off like that. To know that her happiness can't coincide with Dave's happiness, or Elsa's. No matter what she does here, she's hurting someone she loves. And that realization hits her like a ton of bricks, just as Dave's words meet her ears. She's not trying to guilt him, she's really not, but tears well up in her eyes.
"Dave--" Where normally she'd be stubborn and petulant, she's just sad and tired. Arguing, being angry, that takes a kind of energy she doesn't have right now. She tries again, tries to clear her throat of the quaver her voice has developed with no luck. "Dave, please, d-don't say that, that---isn't fair."
