A/N: For the P100 challenge 301: Gold. Part of my Making An Impression drabble series and follows Jeopardy. Um, angsty. Thanks goes to Fred for looking at it for me, cheers m'dear.


Matt made himself join the others in the waiting room, although he had no idea what to say to them or how to apologise for what had happened.

James looked dishevelled as he sat hunched over, staring fixedly at Connor's ring in his hand, the cord dangling between his fingers.

Abby looked equally distraught, her eyes dark smudges were she'd rubbed her tears away.

Matt sighed. Both were worried about Connor and both needed comfort but neither seemed willing to provide it for the other. It was up to Matt and... he just hoped he didn't mess up this time.

Very nice :)

Ooohh, so angsty! A bit heartbreaking, but not much because I KNOW Connor will be OK. I'm sure of it. I have no doubts. Do I sound convincing enough? *hugs Lester and Abby tightly*

Lovely

Aw! You won't, Matt!
Nice one.

"Um, angsty." Gee, ya think? Beautiful. Matt will make them see sense. They need each other and Connor needs them both so they just need to get over themselves and hug, dammit! *g*

Connor's ring... *sniffles* Nice work!

Eeeek

Hopefully this (and Matt) will be the slap upside the head Lester, Abby and Connor need...

I'm sure he won't mess up. *hugs them all*

Oh, ouch. I hope Matt can help make things right.

[clea2011]

Very sad, hope Matt won't mess up. Nice one.

Angsty indeed!

*eep* but he'll be fine, right?

[celeste9]

Aw, Matt is so sweet, wanting to help them! And poor Connor, he really can't catch a break, can he?

[lsellersfic.livejournal.com]

I expect they will be grateful for whatever comfort Matt has to offer!

[deinonychus-1.livejournal.com]

*whimpers* I'm sure Matt will help. No matter what he says, he probably can't make it much worse, at any rate!

It can be very awkward when you don't know what to say. People don't always want to be comforted.
