Not that any of that excused Matt's behavior in the past, and he knew this full well. What was done, was done. It did kind of hurt to hear Lynne apologizing because that had not been Matt's intention in the least. She didn't have to apologize to him. He couldn't bring himself to apologize to her, after all. And after all this time, would it really make a difference?
He shook his head at her, but didn't say anything.
Fortunately for him, she seemed keen on keeping with the joking, which was much better.
"Still. Too fucking harsh!" He joked back. Matt noticed her gaze and smiled almost sheepishly. This was what Lynne did to him, apparently. Leveraged the harsh with the soft.
