Hugging a cushion to her chest, Kate felt herself losing that stiffness that marked distance between herself and Matt. She was resting her head against the sofa as well, sleep-deprivation making her feel as if her body was melting little by little on the spot.
"Nah, just wondering if you'd take my case as my lawyer or if the buried body is going against me," she played along, smiling lazily as she turned to look at Matt.
It still squeezed her heart a little to see the big bruise the night had left as a souvenir on his face. The spot where he'd received the shot wasn't as swollen as he had been before they passed out together, but it was all looking so much better by now.
Or maybe it was the fact that Matt looked so relaxed? So content.
"Last night was so scary." That cop holding that gun to Matt's face. If Kate had been a few seconds too late...
"But this was the best day I've had in a long time," she confessed quietly. "And I know you're going through a hard time right now, with your powers and all. I feel so bad for having a good time."
