Re: Matt/Alex - 8:30 - entry to punch bowl
Matthew followed happily, feeling all the better with her beside him and the focus of conversation between them. Much like any other apartment-wide event, he felt guilt with every neighbor he saw and distinctly remembered them on the table. Luckily, there were new people whom he hadn't met and that made it a touch easier.
Reaching to grab cups from behind the bowl, his eyes went wide. "You can literally smell the booze in this one," he pointed out, as he reached for the ladle and began pouring the drinks into two cups. "So it must be good and better than just punch."
