Jonah hated pretending to be Troy because he had to tiptoe around certain topics. Like work. And 'his' music. Most of all, he hated having to stick to Troy's schedule to text Eden because that meant he couldn't contact her at all on Thursdays or Fridays.
He did his best with the fake schedule he had been given though. They texted most of Saturday night and Sunday when he wasn't out playing basketball.
At least Troy's shifts usually ended around 4 PM so he was able to text Eden when he finished his usual work-from-home schedule most weekdays. It was a bit of a problem how dependent he was becoming on hearing from her.
Jonah ended up calling her twice more the week before Easter because he wanted to hear her voice. He could almost imagine her smiling that way. He really had it bad.
