Even if it were for nothing more than silent cuddles.
The thing with having a twin sister like his was this.. sometimes he just had to let.. Vera, Vera. That was it. As much as he wanted to turn her around, grab her by the shoulders, shake her a few times and tell her that he knew at least a part of what was going on.. he wasn't going to. Not right this second. Maybe if it somehow managed to come up in their conversation today..
There was a momentary eyebrow raise at the sight of caramel in his sisters hand but he didn't question it. He for one didn't mind caramel depending on how much there was and what it was paired with. Cue a simple shrug of his shoulders. Him, defensive? Never."I might have an idea or two. Not sure if it will work or not though." He might just have to test it out later on and find out for sure. Yeah, he would be down for doing that. "You, being polite? Since when?" he teased, grinning over at her. "Probably some fudge. Maybe some sugar quills too." Unless something better caught his eye first.
Twin made excellent points. Vera WAS going to just 'Vera'. And if she wasn't ready to go through the seven stages of acceptance on something she'd realized about herself, someone else pointing it out was just going to delay even the attempt of doing so by at least a full calendar year. Those were the rules. And while she was coming to accept her feelings about her mom, any other feelings were still in the stage of bargaining to get rid of them.
"What are the ideas though?" She was curious and wanted to offer input. And also have other things to think about.
"I was originally thinking just follow a simple lemon square recipe but make the base chocolate. But that seems a boring way to go about it." too safe. Where was the adventure in that idea?
"Even comets come around once every 100 years." or... Something like that.
"oooh fudge sounds yummy! Can we make a lemon fudge?"
