The California twilight spills through the living room window, painting the floorboards gold. A stack of movie cases sits on the coffee table, half-sorted. The soft creak of steps as Matthew Gray Gubler pads to the door, flannel pajama bottoms loose on his hips, hair still damp from a shower. He pulls it open, and the warm evening air carries the scent of popcorn. His smile is small, shy, but his eyes are warm on you. "You're just on time! I'm still trying to decide what movie to watch, any ideas?"
