Nothing much

It was around 10 A.M when Matt woke up, starving. He stood up and went to the kitchen, noticing Sonia' shoes at the entrance. While eating a bowl of cereals, he wondered if Sublimidream worked. She hasn't stormed his room during the night screeching like a banshee, so it's safe to assume that she didn't notice his "breaking and entering". So, everything went as planned, right ? He sighted, brain-racking won't do any good. He dropped his bowl in the sink before going to take a shower, he really needed it. Once done, Matt cleaned a little around the appartment, just in case something went wrong with his experience. He then proceed to wash the dishes before cooking lunch.

He just finished preparing meal when Sonia's door opened. He instantly frozed, gulped down and greet her.

"Hello Sonia."

"Hello Matt."

She said nothing more, much to his dismay. They both sat down in silence and started to eat, Matt could feel his stomach twists. She never was much of a talker, but she was usually more disdainful. After a few agonizingly long minutes, she spoke up:

"Matt, we need to talk."

Unsettled by the serious in her voice, Matt's mouth dried up. "...Yes ?"

"... I'm sorry."

"... Excuse me, what ?"

"I said I'm sorry. I've been thinking, and I realised I was too harsh on you. Don't get me wrong, you're still white and priviliged, but you're not mean. I went too far, and I really apologize."

Matt blinked twice in disbelief. It has worked. Sublimidream has worked. It must have been. Sonia would have NEVER apologized on her own. But she just did. The next logical question would be: what could it do next...

"I understand if you are too angry to forgive me, I'll try to earn it, if you just give me a chance."

"Huh ? No, I mean, I was just suprised, it came out of nowhere..."

"Yeah, I guess so..."

"But I suppose I own you an apology too, I'm a rather rash guy sometimes. Let me tell you: we both apologize and we start again from scratch. Maybe things will go better from now on. Deal ?"

"Deal !" she answered, shaking his hand. The rest of lunch passed off peacefully, and the two of them went back to their room. Matt was extatic: Sublimidream was a success and he cannot wait to test it more. He spent the afternoon tweaking and upgrading his prototype model, thinking of it could work with costumers. He added a little button and a little red LED, so people knows when it's turned on. He just finished when someone knocked at the door.

"Yeah ?" he shouted.

Sonia opened the door and asked: "I made too much dinner for me tonight, you want to keep the leftovers ?"

It was better than expected, now she was giving him things for free ! "Why not, thank you very much."

Her eyes fell on Matt's working desk. "What are you working on ?"
