It turns out that while Molly's phone was otherwise occupied, John's actually texted her.
To: Molly From: John
12:40: Okay, one thing. Before I left you said he's been lovely. I just want you to know, we've talked about it a little and from what I can tell he really does want this to work. So I just want you to know, if he's lovely, it's because he means it. And good on you.
12:43: Anyway, see you later. :)
He's actually not the only one. One of her coworkers at Barts is, it turns out, too intrigued by the sudden change in her to keep quiet.
To: Molly From: Sophie (Work)
12:38: Molls I can't help it, I'm dying of curiosity. Tell me about him!!

To: Molly From: Sherlock
3:34 PM: John gets upset when I pick his lock. Let me in, I come bearing gifts.
