Ambition is a fine thing, but so is knowing when and how to be happy. Matt is a good man, kind, generous, and determined. Anyone would be proud of him. Big or small, Nelson and Murdock will be a cornerstone of Hell's Kitchen, and something for him to be proud of.
Almost a week without him. A truly crushing lapse. Now that they've been honest with each other and don't feel like they have to play at being uninvolved, she's finding she can't. She just can't do it anymore. Too many nights have been spent crying out her loneliness for her to give up this chance of happiness. For all her playfulness, there's an ache in her chest when he apologizes.
"I know." She'll never be tired of hearing him say those words. His moving forward prompts her to lean back in the chair again, releasing his tie to press her hand flat against his chest. Not to stop him, but to feel his heartbeat. All those questions can be answered, when they take another break from the kisses. But she's not feeling rushed to do that.
"Hmm, right, well then. Even better." One last kiss before she begins the recitation. "I am sitting in the office of the man I love wondering why I've let him stay away so long, and I'm very happy, and you can find out what I did to my hair today in your own good time." The twist back leaves him plenty to play with while he's figuring out the rest.
"I should let you eat before..." before they talk of less pleasant things. "Before Foggy forgets to leave you anything."
