It had been some time since the talk he had with Ruth. They hadn't really talked that much since then, save a few words here and there. If Max was being honest with himself, he was avoiding her in the hopes that this..he wasn't quite sure how he'd describe it.. Connection maybe? She had said she wanted to kiss him. She was so sweet, pretty, pious, kind, and frankly too good for him. The fact that she had been in a longterm relationship with a guy who was all intents and purposes her soulmate, who was his polar-opposite in every way.It didn't stop Max from thinking about it, but in time maybe it'd go away and Ruth would come to her senses., In the meantime he did his best to get absorbed in his work. Though honestly he wasn't entirely that interested, just going through the motions of making the latest update to the team's security.

	He gives a slight jolt, but doesn't overreact. He looks at her hand on his for a time, it felt..right. He looks over at her, as if asking "are you sure?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And they'll enjoy the rest of the performance, and she'll keep a hold of his hand until it's time to applaud. When the applauding's done, she'll reach for it again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	When the show ended and the lights came back on, Max turned to Ruth, looking briefly at their hands. "You sure about this?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What, look for someone who can try to out-Jay Jay? It can't be done. Although you're giving his self-esteem problems a run for their money with remarks like that," she adds, as drily as Ruth is capable of being. "The point is, I want someone who's being himself, Max."

	"You're right. There was and will only ever be one Jay. I just think you can do better than Maximillion Sivana. But," he squeezes her hand. "I'll be good to you. I swear to God I will." He looks a little chagrined. "Sorry, not sure if that was offensive." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
