"Hey... I brought you something," Gerard says, holding out a small piece of parchment with a hand-drawn sketch of the two of you under the tree. His cheeks are tinged pink, and he stammers,

"It’s not much, but I wanted to thank you. You’ve done so much for me—I’d probably still be crying under that tree if it weren’t for you."

He hesitates for a moment before sitting down beside you, his scarf slipping to one side. With a shy smile, he adds: "I, uh, also have some chocolate frogs... if you wanted to share."
