"Speaking about nightmares," Kate snorted as Matt caught his mischievous ginger kitten giving a poor attempt at being stealthy. Honestly, Sam and Ella had been incredibly lucky when it came to how the tapestry of their lives had woven itself into Matt's. But at the same time? That had been the worst of luck if they ever hoped to catch their human dad by surprise.

Luck. She certainly had it today, as neither of them have to go to the office and Matt didn't have to leave for church. Weekends had been the easiest of arrangement, as they seemed meant to be spent together. They had not even needed to debate it, as the way they barely seemed able to keep their hands off each other spoke for itself.

"Sure, take care of that." With a pat to his ass, Kate craned her neck to peck his lips and stepped back. "I'll get coffee. Wanna move to the sofa?" Finally stepping away from Matt, Kate tucked her hair behind her ear and smiled as Lucky followed her while they moved around the kitchen. Of course, the fridge had been already stocked with oat milk before Matt even moved in.

And one of the mugs in her cabinet? There had been an unspoken agreement, but they both already knew that the green one was Matt's.

Soon, afte topping up Lucky's water bowl, she carried both steaming mugs to the coffee table, with both Lucky and Ella following Kate at her heels.

"How about you? How did you sleep?"

It was easier to focus on Matt right now. How was she going to explain everything about Morpheus?
