Caitlin's heart became vulnerable after what had happened. From everything that had occurred. First, because of Ronnie's supposed and true death, her heart had grown cold, feeling that she could no longer feel anything. Ronnie had frozen it.Barry was the reason why her heart did not freeze over. His warmth was her lifesaver. He was all she needed and the only thing she could not obtain, since he did not think of her in that way and she did not want to think of him that way.It was a fact that Barry loved and would love Iris. She could not interfere, she did not want to. She did not want to be one of the candidates to be Barry's girlfriend, she did not want it to just be a liking, she wanted love. The same love that Barry showed every time he looked at Iris, the same that she had seen in Ronnie's eyes when he looked at her, the same that she had once seen in the mirror's reflection....Secondly, it was because of Jay. His appearance made her forget what she could not get, and he was really starting to like her and she was slowly falling in love. However, before that could happen, her heart was brutally stabbed. Jay stabbed it.He betrayed her. He betrayed the trust she had placed in him.And again, she was saved by Barry, she was healed....Thirdly, it was Barry.He was the cause of her heart freezing. Barry froze it. All because he was dating Iris, all because... because, he, did not love her. Although she wanted to pretend she felt nothing, that did not prevent her heart from freezing. It had frozen. It had frozen, and her body was also gradually doing the same, while in the process, she was losing herself.Until she became Killer Frost.Being like another person and she was. Her power not only gave her the ability to freeze, but to protect herself from herself. From her fears and insecurities, through a layer of crystalline ice (Frost) protecting her heart, even though it had been frozen for a long time by the same person who was saving her.And Barry again, calmed her. His warm gaze managed to appease her, but it was not enough, it would not be enough because after all Barry had another person. And it was not her.It would never be her....Shortly after, another person appeared, Julián. And again Caitlin felt she could trust him, give him her heart, but and he... What will he do with her heart?... Will he thaw it?......Will he be able to?
