The extra time is so Matthew can stop and pick up Thai food. Because he's looking to at least pretend that this is a social meeting, something he's walking into because he's choosing to hang out with Gabriel, instead of this weird morbid fascination thing that's actually under the surface here. He's on the bench, the bag at his feet, chopsticks deep into a container of Pad Thai when Gabriel arrives.
