HE EXPECTS IT TO END THERE , the conversation with the pain in the ass lawyer forgotten and disregarded . his expectations , however , are soon shattered . at first , he just pauses and makes sure he hears murdock right , that the offer wasn’t some fucking MIRAGE playing from the back of his head like a joke . it was real , it was all real . it’s still a fucking joke . frank stops in his tracks , heavy stride metaphorically ended like a record scratching . HE SHOULD REFUSE . early mornings spent with MATTHEW MURDOCK has never been something on a bucket list or any list of his ever . a harsh , low laugh rumbles from his chest as he turns , eyes steadily locking on the red rimmed glasses he once figured he’d never see again . “ friend list runnin’ that short these days huh , murdock ? ” the lack of filter is astonishing .…show more content… it feels like a bad idea from the start . the image of MARIA happily taking his beer is still raw in his mind , burning holes into his thoughts . shit . this would be a distraction the coffee something to keep him going and his mind wiped off of anything and everything he doesn’t want to think about . company doesn’t matter , frank’s not much of a conversationalist anyway . matt probably assumes he’ll say no , laugh ( like he has already ) and tell him to fuck off , but he wouldn’t be FRANK CASTLE if he wasn’t unpredictable . “ fine , okay . “ way to sound thrilled , “ start talkin’ to me about your law bullshit or anything and i’m gone .
