All in all, a successful day. The incident with Margaret was pushed far back into Matt's mind as they all went back to having fun and there was that calm content feeling again when they walked back to the car, Molly between them and holding each of their hands.

She looked a bit like she might fall asleep in the backseat once they pulled out onto the road again, but looked expectantly at Mohinder when Matt shot him a sideways smile.

"So how did you like the beach?"

Matt hadn't had that much fun in months, personally, and felt a lot happier from the experience. He looked it too, elbow resting on the open car window, sunglasses on to shield from the sun coming down on them and the easy smile in place as he kept his eyes (mostly) on the road.

"'Cause I think there's hope for you yet, Suresh."
