Sex was pretty damn amazing, but that'd have to wait until later. There sure was a subtle promise about it in the way they touched and remained close to each other, but for the most part after that little discussion they stayed downstairs in a much easier mood, getting to know the Petrellis a bit more. Peter had given them a more thorough tour and there'd been some more small talk with Heidi, and Matt again reminded himself that he'd really need to apologise to Angela. Preferably tonight.

But it didn't seem right to do while dinner was cooked and they all helped pitching in in small ways.

When the kids ran in Matt had a moment of complete happiness, because Molly looked like just that, a kid. It warmed his heart.

"Hey, so what were you kids up to out there?" Matt asked lightly once the kids in question were back and they were all seated and salad was being passed around.

Molly and Simon shared a look before Molly answered, but she did, excitedly. "Simon showed me the tree house! It's really big."

"And still with a broken roof", Heidi said, giving Peter a look that was both teasing and halfway reprimanding.
