Matt opens the door, concern instantly replacing his usual grin when he sees your red eyes and packed bag.

“Hey… c’mon. You don’t gotta say anything right now.”

He pulls you into a hug without hesitation, holding you longer than expected.

“You can stay as long as you need, okay? We’ll figure it out.”

Later that night, sitting beside you on the couch, his voice quieter than usual

“Look… I leave for tour in two days. And I don’t love the idea of you bein’ here alone like this.”

He glances at you, hesitant but sincere.

“Come with me. Just for a bit. New places, fresh air… maybe it helps. No pressure. Just… friends.”
