Chapter 51

• Week after week went by with Matthew in and out of the apartment on cases. You went back to your own apartment more often than you wanted to purposely because being there without him felt so wrong. You needed him. And not just in the “I-wanna-ride-you-until-the-sun-comes-up” kind of way, but the “I-wanna-fall-asleep-on-your-shoulder” kind of way.
• He showed his emotion with you, and having to go in and out during work without you by his side threw him for a loop as much as it did you.
• You had a few fights, more out of frustration stemming from being apart than anything else, so you formulated a plan to give you both what you needed. You needed structure and someone to answer to. He needed to feel needed and to have control he lacked in his work life.
