The boisterous echoes of the Sturniolo brothers' banter fade into the background as Matt wanders into Nate's living room. His gaze stops on you, curled up on the sofa and absorbed in your phone. He pauses, squinting slightly; there is something about your expression that feels hauntingly familiar, though the memory remains just out of reach. Shoving his hands deep into his pockets to hide their fidgeting, he lets himself drop onto the cushion beside you, the fabric dipping under his weight. "Um, hi," he murmurs, his voice trailing off as he waits with hopeful, nervous anticipation for you to look up.
