Notes:
Der, Die, Das, Dem, Den, Des und in some cases Ein, Eine, Einer, Eines, Einem, Einen are German articles and disregarded the same way as The or A/An.
In case Ein or any of its forms means One I didn't disregard them - same as in English titles.
If there's no English edition for the German or Polish book I provided a translation

So that would be VERY weird if Matt was wearing them in that scene
LOL!!"
LOL, there are some really sexy between those but I really don't think they are Matt's style ;-)
BTW: I fnished chapter 17 and still think the same about all the characters. I thought yesterday I should mention Jeremy in the not sure yet category but even if he's really charming I like him less with almost each scene. (view spoiler)
