After receiving Dom’s last text, Matt quickly tidied his living room of a few random things that were lying around, and sat and waited. He didn’t do much after this, just waited. It wasn’t often that he had moments alone like this in which he could just sit and reflect.

After Carey left the apartment, he thought to himself. He needed to get out of here, staying in the loft that he and Carey had put money and time into only made him feel guilty. Even though he had never cheated on her he still felt horrible about everything that was going on.
He got out of his car and walked to Matt's door. Knocking and than opening the door "Matt" He called into the house. He needed his best friend, and my god! He needed a beer!!!

Matt had been in the back room, so he hadn’t heard the knock at the door, despite expecting Dominic to show any minute. Just lately Matt had been so wrapped up in his own world to notice ‘others’, even if they were really important people. Like his own daughter, and Dom...and Chiara and Kate...
It was when Dom’s voice sounded through the house when Matt heard. “I’m in the kitchen,” he called back. “Come on through.” With that he took a seat at the counter and waited for his friend to show.
