With the season winding down,
Matt had been as expected, busy. Of course he'd been busy before these past few weeks, really...busy all season, but this weekend especially. Workouts had been intense! He'd been so
tired. It was out of his hands that he fell asleep on the couch right after getting back from practice and then it was too late to owl Delilah or floo her or----Matt grimaced. He was being a jerk. A coward. He'd never had to deal with a significant other with this kind of stuff. He and Gleny were nothing more than friends when the story first broke about his parentage, but even The Tattler hadn't gotten all the details. He didn't know how to be.
His heart did warm at the sight of her. Delilah looked honestly thrilled to see him, something that had been a huge worry to him. He didn't want her to think that she
had to stay his girlfriend just because she'd been exposed to his crazy side. He kissed her back fully, nearly in awe that she was here and happy. Maybe he was thinking too much. Maybe he was just being silly. Maybe it wasn't a big deal after all.
Except it was, he knew, he couldn't just brush it aside like he normally did to keep things happy and uneventful. Maybe tonight they could just be happy, though. They broke apart from the much needed kiss, and Matt kept his hands on her waist.
"I've been practicing my best Liverpudlian accent," Matt said, sounding most definitely not like someone from Liverpool. He'd loved The Beatles music when he was young, however, so if someone requested a tune, he might not be able to resist. "D'you think Nora'll be impressed?"
