Hey everyone, I'm back. Sorry for the really really late update, but I've been feeling a little blue for the past months and didn't feel up to doing anything at all. Hope you enjoy it. :)

'Hi Emily!' he said as he got home.

Those two simple words. Simple, yet complex, as in those two words he poured all his feelings for her, both the spoken and the unspoken ones.

'Hi Matt! Have you had an enjoyable day?'

'More like a day from hell. Everything that could have went wrong went wrong. We had a velociraptor invasion through an anomaly at the mall and this time we had casualties. Lester went ballistic on our asses when he heard, yelling that we were a bunch of incompetents who couldn't handle a bunch of lizards. Connor, of course was nowhere to be found, seeing as of late he's sold his soul to Philip and only is here to serve his master. Maybe if we had him there things would have gone better because he's better at using his own equipment than we are, but hey, who am I to judge Philips's golden minion for ditching his work for shinier toys...'

'Here, drink this and take your voice down, one might think we are arguing.'

'Thanks... So, how's your day been?' he asked sipping his tea. Then it struck him. 'You made TEA? YOU made tea?'

'Your amazement is almost offensive you know.' she chuckled 'I gather a proper lady from your time should be able to look after herself, should she not?'

'And is tea all you intend to live on?' he teased her with a smirk.

'Actually no.' she teased him back, putting on a self-satisfied grin. 'I can also make toast.' her grin widened 'And order pizza. It would seem that the easiest way to procure food in your time is using that... erm... that thing over there.' she concluded triumphantly, pointing towards the phone.

He looked at her and smiled. She had adjusted quite well to her new life in the few months she had taken over his apartment, not that he mined though. She was like a splash of color on an empty canvas or like icing on a cake. She was the sweet smell of flowers in spring.

'Matt? Matt, have you paid attention to anything I have said?' she inquired quite distressed. He chuckled, he always found her to be rather cute when she lost her patience like that.

'Of course, yes.' he hastily replied, 'Erm... what were you saying? ' he inquired putting on the most innocent smile he could master.

'I was expressing my need to do something.' she snorted rolling her eyes 'Matt, I desperately need to get out of the house. I am well aware of the fact that Ethan is still out there and I know what that means, but I cannot stop my life because one bad guy is out to get me. Please, Matt, pretty please?' she smiled sweetly, handing him another coup of tea and a slice of toast with butter and strawberry gem, hoping he would understand he was being bribed and join in in the game.

'Hmm... Let me think of something. I mean Lester only wants to keep you safe. But I remember him saying you need a social security number and papers to officially make you a citizen of the UK.' he mused thoughtfully hatching the plan. 'So you need to go by the ARC and visit him. And you know what that mean?'

'What does it?' she asked playing along.

'It means you need new clothes. You can't wear your Victorian ones, they draw too much attention and you most definitely can't go to Lester's wearing mine. Not that they don't fit you perfectly' he grinned, 'or that I mind having you wear them, but I would like them back.'

'Neat attempt at humor.' she smiled from ear to ear. 'Shall we?' she said, energetically jumping to her feel and ceremoniously extending her arm.

So... read and review? :D
