She usually works nights, but she's also a triage nurse. Maybe we'll just see about visiting a clinic in the morning...

[Claire put up with too much from him and Matt knew nothing was broken. Just bruised.]

[cutehugeyacht]

Let's do that! We can get breakfast and then see her?

[lawyerbyday]

Maybe we could invite her over for breakfast? As a, ah, thank you?

[cutehugeyacht]

Oh, that's a great idea! You don't think she'll mind coming over early?

[lawyerbyday]

Depends on your definition of 'early'. Get her going off shift and she'd consider breakfast a good dinner.

[cutehugeyacht]

Is it too late to text her tonight and see if she can come?

[lawyerbyday]

If she's working, probably not.

[cutehugeyacht]

Then text her and see if she's willing to come. I should have stuff to make breakfast.

[lawyerbyday]

Hold on.

[He had to pull his phone out and go through the process of speech to texting his handy nurse. With the caveat that if she was too busy or tired to not bother.]

[cutehugeyacht]

[She almost leans in. However, she remembers that's rude and intrusive, so instead she rests her head on his shoulder.]

How did you two meet?

[lawyerbyday]

Mm? Oh. She, ah, found me one night when I'd had a bit of a tumble.

[Understatement of the century. Claire had saved his ass more than once and he owed her. Especially after his involvement with her had put her in danger. Sure, she was sleeping with Luke at the moment, and the man was literally bulletproof, but... potayto potahto.]

She's very no nonsense and can handle herself. A nurse that lives in Harlem has to be able to. If there's something that needs to be fixed, she'll at least point you in the right direction.

[cutehugeyacht]

Alright, she sounds pretty cool. I hope it's just an easy fix and nothing too serious.

[She sounds like a badass honestly. She likes what she's seen of Matt's friends. They're down to earth and friendly. Alexis really wants them to like her since they're important to him.]

Ready to head to bed?

[lawyerbyday]

Me too.

[Claire was his guardian angel- or one of them. Someone had been looking out for him when he'd pitched into her garbage dumpster and she'd been the one to tend to his wounds. Matt had already given thanks in church over that, more than once.

The offer to head to bed had him smiling, his hand lifting to smooth over her hair.]

All the excitement tire you out?

[cutehugeyacht]

I guess so. It's been a long night. And all I want is just to curl up with you.

[She thinks nothing sounds better than that. With the wine coursing through her and the adrenaline rushing out of her, she feels heavy with fatigue. Maybe it's a good thing Matt defers her attempt to seduce him. Yawning, she takes his hand and leads her to her bedroom.] You know. I could really get used to having you in my bed.

[lawyerbyday]

Curling up and going to sleep sounds like a great idea.

[Maybe, if she drifted off before he did, he'd get up and clean the remains of their meal before going to sleep. He was still feeling a little protective of her, and he wasn't all that surprised she was toughing it out.]

[cutehugeyacht]

[She figures she'll handle the mess later. It's tomorrow's problem. Right now, she wants snuggles. She leads him to her bedroom and lets him familiarize himself with the layout. She describes it all to him in great detail.]

I have an extra toothbrush!
