[And she's noticed. She has a hard time sleeping too, so it's been impossible to miss his empty bed, the late nights out, him getting so lost in his work. She gets it, because she's been there. She's still there, trying to occupy the pain part of her brain so everything doesn't hurt so much. It never really goes away, but it can be numbed sometimes. She just hopes whatever he's trying helps him.
But lying? Definitely not it.]
You are a terrible liar, you know that, right? [shaking her head!!] So you haven't seen it, but you know it?
(he would do the same for her if they hadn't decided that keeping the secret here was a little useless. it's fine if he messes up and people find him out, it's not fine the other way around.
so, okay. she's not going to sleep, so he'll drop both on the bed and stretch a little bit.)
[She appreciates his commitment, since he's terrible at protecting his own secrets. He obviously knows something, and if that means he's keeping Matt's secret, then she isn't going to push it.
When he flops back onto the bed, she moves to lie next to him on her side, tucking her arm under her head in somewhat of a side fetal position while facing him.]
Yeah, maybe.
[or they could just stay like this. this is nice, too.]

Hey, come on, why would I know anything? No idea.
(GWEN...)
Come on, no interrogation mode, it's late, we gotta work in the morning. Wanna sleep here? I'll stick to the wall or something.
no subject
You do realize you just keep making it even more obvious. But fine. I won't push it.
[she just. rests her head back on his shoulder again, almost in defeat. she knows it's late, but she can't bring herself to get back up either.]
I don't think I could go back to sleep now.

We can watch a movie.
