It took Matt some time to collect himself, the toast heād written a folded and tattered mess in his jacket pocket, but he knew that it was for the best. Everything that needed to be said was done the night before. That he had to hope the future plans they made would actually come true; that they could actually continue a friendship and maybe start a new part of their lives as separate couples.Ā
He went and was about to grab another drink but went for the water instead, thinking of what Bri said about needing to slow it down.Ā
Matt went to the DJ and bobbed his head to the music, figuring out if heād take requests. After finding out he thanked the guy and made his way to the dance floor, dancing in a silly manner but starting to feel like his usual self. He sipped at the water and moved from one part of the floor to the next, saying heys to people he hadnāt talked to yet.Ā āThink if I ask the DJ to play Cottoneye Joe, he would?ā he asked someone, not at all paying attention to who it was.
