Tonight was Halloween, and I got a treat myself. First, Matt Hardy called to
explain why he dropped off the face of the earth. I didn't really want to hear
his excuses, but I'm glad I listened. It turns out his father was hurt in an
accident. Thank goodness he's alright, save for a broken arm.

Then, Matt showed up at my door and took me to Shayla's party. Boy, was she
surprised! Matt and I chaperoned a group of Shayla's younger cousins trick or
treating. It was so nice - watching the children in their costumes, Matt and
I walking with our arms around each other or holding hands. It made me think.
This is what I want every Halloween to be like.

We all met at Shayla's sister's house. The kids were spending the night there,
while the adults went back to Shayla's house for some fun of our own - plenty
of music, games, and drinking. We even had a monster movie marathon. It gave
me the perfect opportunity to snuggle up with Matt. He didn't seem to mind.
He even let me fall asleep on him.

I am so comfortable with him - I can tell him anything and I don't worry about
what he'll think of me. It's wonderful, but scary. I could fall for this guy
in a big way. That's the part that worries me. Matt is a great guy and I know
he would treat me really well, but he travels all the time. In reality, we
would hardly get to see one another. I'm not sure I could handle a long distance
relationship - actually, I'm not sure I could handle it if we ended up together
and it didn't work out. I feel so attached to him already.

It's 3:23am, far too early to be thinking about these things.

I just checked on Matt. He's sleeping peacefully in the guest room. What an angel.
