Erevan tried to enjoy his time with Molly at face value but, as time went on, he wondered if he was ever going to be able to accomplish his goal. At least he was having fun engaging in holiday traditions with her as that time of year approached.
When he had been Vanya, he was able to do some of these things but not all of them. It seemed that certain holiday traditions were reserved for boyfriends instead of friends.
He had been able to keep his secret well on that front so far by keeping Vanya's phone on him as well as Evan's. That way, he was able to text Molly back when she tried to get in touch. He had to be very careful and make sure she never noticed he had two phones. They were the same model with identical cases so as long as they were never in the same place at once, he would be fine.
"Hey, do you want any?" Molly asked, shaking him out of his thoughts.
