“My last exchange a week ago. I’m very very sad. Loved this guy,” she shared, alongside a flashback photo of them on set.

After what appears to be confirmation that the number did indeed belong to Skye, Matthew wrote: “Hi! I hope all is well. I was meditating (I meditate now) and ‘In You [sic] Eyes’ started playing.”
He was referencing a song from the soundrack of Ione’s 1989 film Say Anything.
“I instantly thought of you and how beautiful you are,” he added.

The sweet side of Mathew
The thoughtful text shows just what a sweet and thoughtful guy Matthew was.
“Awe. I love that Xo,” Skye responded.
And the conversation continued: “Hope you are healthy and happy,” Matthew wrote.
Skye replied: “Yes I am both. I think! Good to hear from you. I only have nice memories with you.”
Matthew then ended the exchange with his fondest memory of them working together: “Me too. That one afternoon, I was just sitting in my apartment, and there you were!”
