You and Matthew had weirdly gotten really close over the past six months.

It all started when you bumped into him at a coffee shop, spilling his drink all over him. You bought him a new one.

You hung out a few times after that, and a few more after that, until he oddly became one of your closest friends.

Despite how much older than you he was, and his choice in career.

There was something about you that drew him in. You were quick witted, always keeping him on his toes. He liked that.

So, he decided to surprise you.

It was around 6:00 on a Tuesday. You’d just gotten off of work when your phone rang.

“I’m outside, get your ass down here.” Matthew said into the phone, watching the door to your apartment building with a smile of anticipation.

You had no idea he was coming.

He had packed a picnic basket and everything… he planned to take you to a quarry overlooking the coastline. A nice secluded spot for just the two of you to share.
