Never that manner of settling. Oh not by a long shot. Matt is more in the mode of roosting to stay. She isn't like any other person he's ever known. And now that he has, to be without her would be unthinkable. Yes, he is independent and self sufficient, but he has found something special with her. Something that wasn't there with any other before. It's worth any kind of scolding.

This much yellow only looks good as a sundress in the most polite of assessments. And so they fall into step with the music, dancing on the air as they would on the ground. Her teasing always makes him laugh. "Oh no, then this means I'm going to be punished if I misbehave from here on out? Is that it?" Matt squeezes her close if only to hear a squeak. It's hard to be threatening if you squeak, Verity.
