#maybe starts making his mom's favourite cranberry scones again from time to time eventually

I know that, realistically speaking, Matthew probably never touched an oven again, but I just love the idea of baker!Matthew so so so much. Matthew taking cookies when he goes to visit Anna for tea, Matthew baking his friends' birthday cakes, Matthew giving out scones to his neighbours cause he made too many, Matthew making his own valentine's day chocolates, Matthew stress-baking at 3 am as a new coping mechanism after he quits drinking, I mean cahem.

It is just such a lovely concept. Cassie was so evil for introducing it in Cast Long Shadows and making me fall in love with it and then yanking it away forever in the most painful way possible 🥲
