Summary
Obviously Matt’s aware that Jay looks good in a suit. It’s more something about the way he holds himself, still and straight, self possessed. That's not a Jay posture. It’s the weirdest thing, it makes Matt feel almost starstruck – so much so that when their eyes catch, it punches the breath out of him. There’s Jay, regular, but there’s someone else too, also Jay. That's when it catches up.
Maddy and her friend think Jay is his boyfriend. That word, boyfriend, crashes into his head so hard that for a split second he’s afraid he said it out loud. Earlier, Jules asked how long have you two been… and Matt, assuming he knew the end of the question, said since we were like 12 or something. Jay heard that happen. Not only that, he played along. They grinned at each other conspiratorially about it.
The only reason Matt would ever go to a family wedding is if he and Jay could get a show at The Rivoli out of it. The plan: Play the wedding, bring the house down, and get his cousin and her friends to book them for an after party. The part where they pretend to be a couple, threatening decades of load-bearing repression, comes out of nowhere – at least for Matt, it does.
