"I swear I try to remember," Kate protested softly, hating that even though she was so used to his presence and his needs, even now she could still forget about this sometimes. However, of course Matt didn't seem bothered.
Under her touch, Kate felt his hands shift. She let go, sure he was pulling away. But Kate was wrong. Matt's hands moved slowly, his fingertips tracing her cheekbones, her jaw, her nose, evading her parted lips. It was done before Kate realized it. She wanted to ask him to keep going.
"Oh, yeah. Yeah, good point." The people around them seemed to be growing impatient over the way they were also blocking the road. Holding onto Matt's arm again, she walked quietly by his side for a moment.
"I don't think that was weird." She suddenly offered, remembering what Matt said before. "Touching someone's face," she clarified. "Like, I get why it may have been for Foggy." Men aren't probably crazy about other men touching them maybe? It's like crying in front of other people. Not everyone is comfortable with that. "But I think it's cool. Like, I can't imagine myself actually remembering what makes faces feel different." But how do you try to learn that? Matt had good reasons to try, she didn't. "Like, I'd like to try it, but it would be extra weird if I asked someone."
