"Since-...I was 15. I'm 21 now." Matt laughs disbelievingly, "Wow...You've just-...5 seconds and-...thank you."

Angel stood there shocked. "You've been looking since you were 15 and you could have come to me all along!" She joked. "It really was no problem, happy to help."

"Wait until I tell Claire...and-...of course, he has no idea. He's got-...there's a massive family back home and Chris-...Ian...has no idea."

"Claire?" Angel asked. "How much family has he got? Here there is only his mother and he hates her."

"Claire is my sister, his sister. He has a niece and a nephew, my two kids, Dawn and Paul. And Claire has a son too, Liam. And we have grandparents and aunts and uncles and cousins and-...he's been-...away for all this time and he doesn't even know." Matt says slowly.

"He thinks he's the only one left..." Angel said sadly.

"He must be so-...so cut off, I guess is the right word for it. Claire was right." He sighs, "Don't doubt the reader in future, Matt." He mutters to himself, "She said he'd be lonely, cut off, distant and untrusting...that he wouldn't believe me." He looks up at Angel, almost expecting a confirmation or hoping to be told differently.

"I wish I could say he isn't, but he is. He probably won't believe you at first but tell him something no one else could know, about your family," Angel said, sighing a little. "It is a lot to take in for someone who thinks he's been alone for so long."

"That's what she said." He smiles slightly, "I'm thinking she should have come over here to find him, not me. Just because I'm the oldest doesn't mean I'm the most tactful."

"How old is she then?" Angel asked. "He will learn to trust you eventually, trust me."

"She's 19, now. I was kind of hoping he will. But then again, he seems to be like Claire who trusts next to no one. I'm the trusting one of the family apparently." He shrugs.

"Is that a good thing or a bad thing?" Angel smiled.

"According to the rest of them, back home, it's a bad thing. I think it's a good thing. Apart from when I get outsmarted and tricked into things by my three year old son."

Angel laughed. "What kind of things does he do?"

"Tricks me into taking his side most of the time. Little git." He jokes, "Love him to bits, but he isn't half evil. I just hope that his sister doesn't grow up to be that evil, I don't think I could take it."

"You have two kids?" Angel asked. "I don't think I could manage that!"

"Yeah, Paul and Dawn. I know it sounds cliched, but they're my life. Don't know what I'd do without them. I have nothing to do over here, normally I'm running around all over the place after them, but they're with Claire. I do feel sorry for her. She's got Paul, Dawn and her own kid, Liam to mind while I'm gone." He laughs, "At least she's got that husband of hers to help out, I guess."

"She's looking after 3 kids?" Angel asked with wide eyes. "How old are they?"

"Paul is 3, Dawn is 1 and a bit, and Liam is 2 now, I think. Yeah." He laughs, "Well, she's got her hands full alright."

"She probably is, knowing her." He smiles, "She loves all that sort of thing, mothering and the like. Her and Sam are probably having the time of their lives."

"Continuity...I guess. Having things stay the same forever...I'd kind of like that."

"It would make life so boring though," Angel sighed. "Sometimes change is good."
