There's so much in the touch of her hand that makes him feel emotions and sensations. He wouldn't want to deny that to either of them. Some days don't feel complete without her presence even if they do talk on the phone. At least then he knows that she's there in the world.

"Bless your heart." It comes out unbidden. All those steps and she's still going. Matt nuzzles back and murmurs his thanks and love. "You got me, that's all I need." And maybe air. There's plenty of that though. She's really in fit form now if she wasn't before.

Finally placed to sit Matt still reaches to pull her close for that soft kiss. His head and stomach are a mess. It's not one of his better ones but the effort is there. "I love you, I'll be fine here waiting for you." Because he's going to remove his shirt to try to cool down more. Shoes too if is up to leaning down again.
