[ Of course she was attracted to him. Not only was he handsome, but also genuinely charming in a way that didn't seem intrusive or forced. And there was the whole trying to help disenfranchised people thing, something about people fighting for justice just did things to her. Things that led to dates and feelings and yes, lots of kissing.

Finding out about his secret life only stoked that fire, really, because while Trish is a firm supporter of justice, she doesn't necessarily believe that the current system in place is the best way of getting justice. Sometimes, you have to think outside the box. And go kick some ass.

Now here she is, lips swollen from his kisses, skin tingling from the scrape of his stubble as she smiles at him. ]

And you made me forget all about it. Thank you.

[ The day had not been good, starting with an argument with her production team because she again wants a guest that they deem "too political" for her lifestyle show, followed by an interview with a very talented but heinously un-charismatic author, and then some more arguing with the production team before she could finally head over to Matt's place and say fuck off to the world for a little while. ]

[ It's his pleasure -- he had picked up on her tension, the way her muscles were pulled taut from the rigors of the day. She's a very capable woman, idealistic in all the ways that he finds incredibly charming, and dedicated to the work that she does, thrilling him with her similar sense of justice.

She understands why he does what he does, which takes a load off when it comes to him doing what needs to be done, and it helps to have someone unreservedly in his corner when the going gets rough. He knows that he's growing to depend on her more, drawing on her strength and courage when it becomes too overwhelming.

He can sense the smile in her voice even if he can't see it, and he leans in to kiss her briefly again, his fingers threading with hers. ]

You're always welcome.

[ She sighs a little once the kiss breaks, leaning her forehead against his. ]

I'm so sick of having the same arguments over and over again. They always try to steer me away from being "too political" because this is a lifestyle show and my listeners will tune out. Since when is politics not a part of your lifestyle? I at least have some damn faith in the people listening to me.
