"Good morning, Mom!" Matt said after entering the kitchen.
"Good morning! I thought you would sleep more. You get so tired last night."
"I have a kind of the date today."
"I understand" Nancy said after taking another sip of her coffee.
"You will have breakfast before leaving? I can prepare some toast for you. "
"No, thanks. I'll stop somewhere and have it. "
"Okay."
"Mom, I know we don't talk about some stuffs, but I want to tell you something. I met a girl, her name is Gabriella. And I'm happy, I just wanted you to know that."
Nancy wasn't surprised because she suspected that Matt was seeing someone. The problem was how she would showhappiness for him, after what she had heard of Hallie. But she did her best to support him.
"I'm happy for you!"
"Thanks mom!"
So Matt went to the living room and he took his wallet and car keys. Nancy followed him.
Before he opened the door: "Matt, I need you to listen to before you leave."
"Can be when I return? I don't want to be late."
"It will take only a few minutes."
He nodded.
"Listen to me and then you can talk, okay?"
"Okay." Matt realized that his mother's face was too serious.
"Hallie was here. She said she needs to talk to you. I think you should listen to her. You've said numerous times that don't want to talk to her, I know. But I believe that she won't stop calling and coming here looking for you. Also, I think it must be important."
"She said something else for you?"
"She said, but I think this conversation should be between you two."
"Okay, I'll call her this week. And to finish this story. Now I need to go. Bye mom."
"Goodbye, son."
Nancy was worried thinking how Matt would be after talking to Hallie.

"What do you have planned?" Gabby asked Matt after entering his car.
"It's a surprise. You will see when we get there."
"I don't like surprises. Please tell me!"
"Baby, no!"
Gabby made a disappointed face, but accepted what Matt said.
"Turn on the radio. Let's listen to music maybe that distract you"he suggested.
Gabby turned on the radio and selected a music station. The song that was playing:
I woke up and saw the sun today
You came by without a warning
You put a smile on my face
I want that for every morning
What am I I'm feeling?
'Cause I can not let it go
If seeing is believing
Than I already know
I'm falling fast
I hope this lasts
I'm falling hard for you
I say
Let's take a chance
Take it while we can
I know you feel it too
Gabby smiled to him. It was exactly what was happening. She was completely in love with him.
They stopped at a red light and Matt squeezed her hand. He was also in love with her.
I'm falling fast
I'm falling fast
It does not matter what we do
You make everything seem brighter
I never knew I needed you
Like a sad song needs a sea of lighters
She leaned a little and they kissed quickly. Soon after the light turned green and Matt went toward their destiny.
What am I I'm feeling?
Cause I can not let it go
If seeing is believing
I already know
I'm falling fast
God, I hope this lasts
'Cause I'm falling hard for you
I say
Let's take a chance
Take it while we can
'Cause I know you feel it too
I'm falling fast
(Falling Fast – Avril Lavigne)
"You think too early to we have a song?" Gabby asked.
"Not."
"So, I think that just get on the list."
"Okay. But I think that doesn't win of mine."
"What do you mean? Have you thought about a song for us?"Gabby was surprised.
"More or less. I thought one for you."
"For me? Which one?"Gabby asked anxiously.
"Tonight I show to you."
"No, please. I think I deserve to know since I don't know where we are going and how you say it's my music."
"I know, but tonight, I promise."
Gabby pouted and begged him to tell, but he didn't yield.
"Okay, but be aware that your chances are reducing with me" Gabby replied.
"Really?" Matt asked laughing.
"Yes, I'm pretty sure that someone will be sleeping on the couch tonight" she said in a serious tone to him.
"I have my doubts. I also know handle you, Gabriela Dawson"he said teasing.
"We'll see then" now it was her turn to tease him.
"We'll see" he repeated.
A few more minutes and they were approaching the place. Gabby thought she knew that route.
"Are we going where I am thinking?"
"I don't know. What's your guess?"
"I won't say, but I'm pretty sure."
Matt parked the car.
"I don't believe, my guess was right: Willis Tower" she said after leaving the car.
"Did you like my choice?"
"I loved it,baby. The view here is amazing."
"Yes, it is!" He took her hand and they walked to the building.
Among a few minutes they were already at the observatory.
"This is incredible" Gabby said.
Matt was delighted with the view too, but what made him happy was to see Gabby smiling.
"I'll take a picture of you. Smile for me."
Gabby did as he asked and many other poses. They had fun enough.
"Sir, could take a picture of us, please?"
"Of course."
Matt and Gabby stood side by side. He put his arm around her shoulders and they smiled.
"Thank you!" Matt told the guy for his kindness.
Gabby again turned to the view and Matt hugged her from behind and kissed her neck.
"Thank you for bringing me here. Really, I loved it."
"Anything for you, baby."
She turned and for a few seconds they stared at each other.
"I will miss you"she said after placing a hand on his face.
"Don't talk like that. You will be in other State, but you will stay here"he pointed to his head and then put her hand over his heart.
"You too."
"And there are planes for people like me who are going to visit his girlfriend and see her rocking in college."
"Girlfriend?" She asked confused.
"Yes, sweetheart."
"And you'll visit me?"
"I will. When I have a break and you tell me that you can dedicate some time to me, I'll be there."
"I'm afraid."
"From what?"
"That we can't make it work."
"I know, but I want to try. Do you want to try?"
"I want."
"So let's do it."
They kissed.
"Let's take one last look before leaving?" Matt asked.
"Yes."
They were looking at the view again, were embraced.
"Now we go to our next destination. But I want to know: are you hungry?"
"Yes, I am starving."
"Let's eat something. It's almost lunchtime."
They ate at a nearby location.
"Where are we going now? Can you tell me this one?"Gabby said putting the seatbelt.
"Yes. Millenium Park."
"I love that place."
Once there they visited: Cloud Gate, Crown Fountain, Jay Pritzker Pavilion, Great Lawn and finally The Lurie Garden.
Matt made sure to record everything. He took several pictures of Gabby, despite hersaying that he had photos to thousand albums.
"Then I'll have to look at these photos and delete a few. I bet you took several that I didn't get well."
"No way, you look beautiful at all."
"I know" she laughed.
"I was thinking. What do you say about going to Navy Pier?"Gabby asked.
"I think it's a great idea, because it was exactly what I had planned."
"Really?" Gabby said surprise.
"Yes."
"I think your luck is changing Matthew Casey."
"I'm happy about it, because the last thing I want tonight is sleeping away from you." He kissed her.
Once they arrived at the Navy Pier, Gabby wanted to go to some stores and purchasing some gifts for her nephews: Eva and Diego.
While Gabby was looking for something, Matt said he was going to the bathroom.
Gabby spent at least half an hour to choose the gifts, she was paying when Matt returned.
"Are you feeling okay?" Gabby asked.
"I'm fine!Let's walk?" Matt said.
"Yes, but I want an ice cream before. Do you want one?"
"I want it."
They were already nearly two hours at the park: "Before we leave we need to go on the Ferris wheel" Gabby begged.
"Sure."
They bought the ticket and finally came their turn: "Wow, the view from here is as incredible as the Willis Tower."
"Yes it's, but none of them win that have now: You" Matt said.
"Matt..."
"You are the most amazing person I know Gabby. I... I love you."
Gabby was a few seconds in silence.
"I love you too."
They kissed, only realized they had to get off the Ferris wheel when they were called to go out.
They laughed.
"Can we buy our dinner and eat at your house?"
"Yes. What do you want to eat? "Matt asked as they walked to the parking lot.
"Italian food."
"Great choice."
40 minutes later and they were having dinner at Matt's living room, as there were no chairs, they were sitting on the floor. Matt bought a bottle of wine to them.
"Thank you for this wonderful day, Matt! It was one of the happiest days of my life."
"But the day is not over."
"I know" she said smiling, "but I want to thank you."
"Not at all, you deserve it. Wait just a minute here."
Matt went to his car.
When he came back, he brought a small box: "This is a gift for you to remember this day."
"Baby, you don't need-"
"But I wanted. Open."
Gabby opened it and saw a necklace: "It's beautiful, thank you" and kissed him. "Can you help me?"
Matt helped her put the necklace.
"Listen, I won't be able to go to the airport tomorrow. But I want you to know that what we talked earlier today, it is true!"
"I know. Before catching the plane I'll call you, okay?"
"It's all right."
They were still sitting on the floor. Matt had his back against the couch. Then Gabby came a little closer to him and sat on his lap.
Gabby ran a hand through his hair. She looked at him for a few seconds, leaned a little and kissed him. They stayed like that for a few minutes: "Bedroom" Gabby said.
They stood and Matt caught her by surprise holding her in his arms. She just laughed and they kissed again.
Matt laidher in bed and he still standing took off his shirt. He pulled out his phone and searched which had promised to Gabby. He pressed play and turned his attention to her that had already taken off her shirt as well.
This is my love song to you
Let every woman know I'm yours
So you can fall asleep each night babe
And know I'm dreaming of you more.
He was on top of her: "This is your song, because I will never stop trying, I will never stop wasting my breath every time you look at me."
You're always hoping that we make it
You always wanna keep my gauze
Well you're the only one I see
And that's the one thing que will not change
His hands were in her hair and hers around his waist. Gabby let a tear fall.
Matt kissed her on the forehead, on each side of her face, on her chin and finally her lips.
I'll never stop trying
I will never stop watching as you leave
I will never stop losing my breath
Everytime I see you looking back at me
And I will never stop holding your hand
I will never stop opening your door
I will never stop choosing you babe
I will never get used to you
And with this love song to you
It's not a momentary phase
You are my life I do not deserve you
But you love me just the same
And the mirror says we're older
I will not look the other way
You are my life my love my only
And that's the one thing que will not change
I'll never stop trying
I will never stop watching as you leave
I will never stop losing my breath
Everytime I see you looking back at me
And I will never stop holding your hand
I will never stop opening your door
I will never stop choosing you babe
I will never get used to you
(Never Stop – Safetysuit)
