Matt had lost too much recently to not try to grip back onto something, someone, who he didn't want to live without.
Karen could trust him, though the fact that he'd given her reasons to see him as being untrustworthy of late wasn't lost. So, he gave a little laugh, not letting the nagging thought of if she really did trust him into his reaction. It wasn't a lie, he knew that, not in the context she'd meant.
He chuckled lightly at her telling him not to break the door, lips pressing together a tiny bit when she mentioned her new job. Maybe it was all a new path they needed to be on, without Nelson and Murdock being present. There were other matters pressing on him, on them, so he wasn't going to let his sadness and regret over that weigh down on him at present.
"Yeah you gotta let go," he answered with a perk to his smile, bringing one hand down off her back and to reach to slide his fingers against hers, to try to weave their hands together to hold hers. "At least like this." A small nod down at how they were still standing; holding onto one another for dear life in the easy fall of rain.
He'd let her start to move away first, smoothly going along with her to step away, holding her hand as they went if she allowed, staying close to her, if she let him do that too.
Before they left the alley, he added, "I wasn't planning on necessarily using the front door either. I was thinking more -- higher." Why not go around leaping around on elevated surfaces, ladders and the like to get onto roofs, if you could. Her apartment must have access to the roof, and if not, well...then he'd casually break through the front door. Or a window. There were options!
