I went over to check on how things were going at the boathouse only because I like to be a good hostess and because it's Wednesday and on Wednesdays my restaurant sends home any full leftover pies for the Reverend and today was a positive bounty in that I knocked on the door with three. Strawberry, pumpkin and a key lime. Sam kept the pumpkin but asked me to share the wealth with the others and so Schuyler and Duncan took the key lime and Batman and New Jake took the strawberry. Everyone is happy. Our house doesn't need pie, trust me. We're cake people anyway.
Matt wasn't even home. He was at a meeting with Ben. I would have known that but I went to the boathouse first because of the pies, you see. Sam said things are going well, that he didn't realize all of Matt's confidence came from a bottle and I gently reminded him he should have, for that's how it generally works.
How about you come back late tonight with Ben for dessert? We can have some tea and some pie and Matt can work to get back on your good side.
I don't have a bad side, Sam. I'm just protective of you.
And my gratitude for that is bottomless, Bridget, but it's something Matt wants to do.
Let's give him space to settle in. I'm going to give him a little time first. He doesn't need me breathing down his neck. He can ride to church with us on Sunday. I'll check with him on Saturday. Until then I just want him to feel at home.
Bottomless, Bridge-
I already dug a hole in the orchard for him, Sam.
People can change, Bridget.
Yes, and it's only for that reason that I haven't put him in it yet.
