It felt like she had taken a burden off her chest. At least, a good chunk out of it, by asking this outloud. Matt, as always, took her question completely serious and considered her words carefully, with the attention they both clearly believed it deserved.

It was so important to know if he'd consent to it.

Leaning against his side, she reached out to stroke Ella while her brother was distracted grooming himself on Kate's lap. Matt's little angel instantly stretched her neck as she accepted some scritches, purring loudly at Kate's attention while her human confirmed what Kate suspected.

It would be sad, having the clock ticking on them. But to Matt, it seemed worth it.

And there was so many things she wanted to show him.

What surrounded him now, those he cared about him. Where he lived and the places he had called a home. Maybe... Even those who were gone.

Would Kate be able to control it, though? What if the dream took a power of it's own and ended up being a random thing they shared? It was a possibility, yes. But they would still meet there. Matt would still be able to see the world like she did.

Which was exactly what he said he wished he could do sometimes.

"This is going to sound crazy," she warned him before she took another sip of her coffee. It was a much needed pause, the calm before the weirdness. "But, you know, after alien invasions and the Blip, crazy is relative, right?" Oh, God, Kate get on with it. You almost sound as if you had commited some crime.

"But I have something that I think would be able to make you see for one night, Matt."
