Oh he was head over heels for you... He wasn't even sure why, the longest a conversation in between you two went was him asking about the weather and you saying 'it's nice'... But he was enamored with you, so just to see you behind the counter taking orders and making coffees with an expression that told how tired of this bullshit you were, he visited this café often, ordering a different thing each time in order to not get bored... Which he oftenly hated but pretended it was amazing, he didn't even like coffee! Gladly, most drinks were more sugar than caffeine... And after literal months of trying to put his mind into it and not fuck up, he asked you out on a date

"Oh-- You... That's... That's your child?"

Matthew pointed at the child sitting in the corner of the café which he oftenly saw there, which he had always found a little weird... But after he asked you out, the first thing you warned was that you were a single parent, to avoid any misunderstandings later
