A/N: For the P100 challenge 206 Matt Anderson. Part of my Dreams of Yesterday drabble series. More angst. Thanks to Fred for looking at it for me.


Matt knew Abby meant well, but he just wished she'd leave him alone. He had a job to do and his father wouldn't want his grief to get in the way.

“Anderson.” Lester's summons was a welcome escape and Matt eagerly grabbed it with both hands. He soon doubted that choice when Lester murmured, “She won't give up, Anderson.”

“Lester?” Matt asked curiously.

Grief flickered across Lester's face for an instant. “She didn't with me, Matt.”

Matt nodded, he had to know. “Does it get better?”

Lester sighed heavily. “Good days and bad, Matt.”

Erk! Angst! Very vivid scene.

I was wondering how to get this prompt in this series, and angst was the way to go *g* Glad you liked it.

Matt should feel honoured that Lester's actually opening up to him a bit!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

*nods* Matt probably should. I'm sure Lester knows Abby won't give up and is just saving everyone time *g*

Ooh, I really like this. A tiny moment of trust between Lester and Matt, even though it is a sad one.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks, glad you liked it, even if it was sad.

Aww, I'm really liking this series. Nice that Lester and Matt sort of open up to each other (and you do realise you're feeding my Abby/Matt muse lol)

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Glad you are enjoying the series. (I see no problem there *g*)

[fredbassett]

That was lovely and very sad.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Glad you liked it, I can't seem to get off the angst at the moment. Thanks again for looking at it for me.

Lester needs the huggles. Matt should be, but Lester says he had his reasons *g*

[nietie.livejournal.com]

Wonderful scene. So bittersweet.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks, glad you liked it. I was wondering how to use the prompt in the series, so I'm afraid it had to go angsty.

Aw! *huggles them both*

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks. They both need huggles, although I'm not sure either would be happy to get them.

[fififolle]

Aw! Nice. Poor boys.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I'm sure they can bond (or not) over their mutual grief.

[deinonychus-1.livejournal.com]

awwww, poor boys.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

*nods* I'm being mean to both of them now.

[lsellersfic.livejournal.com]

Poor Matt! and Lester!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

*nods* I was mean to Lester again, and poor Matt suffered as well.

Lovely bonding moment between the two of them and very sad...

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks for reading. *nods* bonding over grief has to be sad.

Lester and Matt talking about grief (in their own brisk guy way) is so poignant.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I remember I was worried about this one (first time I wrote Matt *g*), so I'm glad they came over OK.
