Ro smiled "of course, no problem. And it's ok to be nervous. It makes conversation akwardly adorable and interesting."

Matt’s smile warmed even more, “I suppose it does…I’m not as nervous talking to you anymore because I know you have a soft spot for me.” He softly chuckled.

Ro nodded shyly "yeah, I do have a soft spot for you." She admitted, glancing away so he didn't see her blush

“Aw..” he glanced down to the ground. He was about to say I have one you too, but he decided against it just before he opened his mouth.

"so what's a good starter plant? Tomatoes? Peppers?" She asked, glancing up and smiling brightly, a small bounce in her step

“Um..I would say broccoli and sage definitely. Tomatoes and peppers are good too, but they have their quirks.” He opened his car door.

"huh, like what? I've always heard that tomatoes survive under any and every condition." She said, glancing at the car in slight suspicion "thank you," she muttered softly, getting into the passengers seat

“You’re welcome,” he sank down into the driver’s seat, “I haven’t driven in a while…” he swallowed, “Do we have to?”

She shook her head "no, I'm not don't of driving either makes me feel weird just being IN a car. But wouldn't it be easier for you? I'm sure walking takes a toll." She said, Hoping she wasnt coming off as fussy

Matt swallowed, “Cars just make me nervous still. From..the crash and all.” He looked over to her, his lips pursed with anxiety.

"we can walk if you'd like." She said, wanting to.leave the car. "I dot't mind walking."

He opened his door again to clamber out, “Thank you so much,” He breathed.

Ro laughed and nodded "no problem," he got out of the car and stepped back from it, glancing over at Matt

Matt closed the car door, “It’s quite a walk,” he hobbled around the car to her, “But there’s sidewalk the whole way.”

"that's good at least, "your sure you'll be alright walking the whole way?" She asked, a bit worried

“I’ll be fine, I’m used to walking with the crutch,” he assured her, “Are you fine walking the whole way?”

She nodded "I'll be fine. I like walking." She bounced about a bit, ready to go.

Matt redshifted his crutch, “Sweet.” He hobbled over to her then down the sidewalk.

When Matt came back, Ro linked their arms together to help support him

He held onto her arm tightly as they walked, “So…besides gardening what do you like to do? As in hobbies?”

She thought for a moment, subconsciously tucking a piece of hair behind her ear "well, besides gardening, I love reading and learning. That's actually how I got into sculpting."

“Sculpting?” He looked over to her with an intrigued grin, “That’s amazing, what do you like to sculpt?”

She blushed from the attention and praised "Mostly mechanical animals, made from househeld objects." she explained, remebering she had made a hamster in a ball for him

Matt smiled, “Oh that’s amazing! I’d love to see one of them sometime. If you would let me.” He very gently bumped into her shoulder.

(Also I was just browsing Pinterest and I randomly found a picture that was exactly Matt in his backyard
His left lower leg isn’t even shown and it’s perfect

(that a great picture!)
Ro laughed and nodded "of course, I actually made one for you. I'll give it to you when we get back." She said with an excited bounce in her step
