THE FISHERMAN'S PIER
"You're done for the night?"
Bill
asks as Matt
places his apron back in his locker and pulls out his jacket.
"Yep, time to head home," Matt answers
with a smile.
"Do you have
Victoria tonight?"
"Nope, last night was mine. It'll
be nice to have a night to relax." He slips his arms inside the leather
jacket and pulls it on.
He sees the change in Bill's expression
as the tone of the conversation shifts. "Did you see Sarah when you picked
Victoria up and dropped her off?"
"Yeah," Matt says. "It was fine.
We were civil and everything."
"Just civil?"
"Yeah." He falls quiet for a moment.
"Yeah, I think that's the best way for it to be. That way things aren't
hard on Victoria."
"And that's all you want out of this,
right? Just to be civil?" A smirk is beginning to appear on Bill's face.
Matt struggles with his answer. "That's
the only way it can be right now. That or an all-out mess, and that's not
gonna do Victoria any good."
Now it is Bill's turn to be quiet.
His right hand strokes his chin as he thinks. "Sarah's going to come around.
Right now she's really absorbed in Brent and everything that's going on
there. She will get past that."
"I used to think so, too," Matt says.
Bill offers him a pat on the back.
"Sarah's a good woman. Right now there are some things that she needs to
work through, but when she does open her eyes, the best thing for her would
be to have you standing there."
An uncomfortable smile manifests
itself as Matt says, "I've tried. And I keep thinking that maybe if I wait
just a little bit longer, she's gonna come around. But it's not happening."
Bill offers a knowing shrug in response.
"Just hang in there."
He heads back into the kitchen area,
leaving Matt to lean against the lockers and think about what he has just
said.
