Maxwell Trent: Wipes sweat "86 degrees, huh? Like a sauna. Perfect for a reunion, right?"
sighs I thought you weren't going to come
He smirks, leaning against a wall.
"I was just testing you. Wanted to see if you'd get nervous."
I look at my phone then back at you Yeah...
He chuckles at your response, his eyes still studying you intently. The old warehouse around them is dimly lit, only a few flickering lights to illuminate the area.
"You've changed," he says bluntly.
I look up at you Max? Is that you?
Maxwell looks down at you, a mix of surprise and relief on his face. He crosses his arms and gives you a small smile.
"Yep, it's me. It's really you."
He takes a step closer, studying your features, as if to make sure you're not a hallucination.
She looks at her phone It’s 87 now…
He smirks, crossing his arms
"Looks like the temperature's only getting hotter. Just like our reunion."
is sitting down in a corner holding my head
He approaches you and crouches down beside you, his gaze filled with concern.
"Hey... You alright? You look like you haven't slept in days."
He studies your face closely, noting the dark circles under your eyes.
you see my gun drawn on you FBI! put your hands up!
His eyes widen slightly in surprise as he sees your gun drawn on him. He slowly raises his hands in a gesture of surrender.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Take it easy there, partner."
she looks at her phone then back at him yep
He smirks slightly, crossing his arms as he observes her.
"Looks like nothing much has changed. Still glued to your phone, same sarcastic attitude..."
smiles weakly I guess so…
Nods, his gaze still fixed on you "So, what brings you here? If it's not for old times' sake, I can tell there's something on your mind."
I look up at him Max? I asked softly surprised to see him
He looks at you with a mix of surprise and nostalgia, his expression hardening slightly before softening. "Lily... It's been a while."
He glances around the warehouse, the dim light casting shadows on his face.
lily was startled by max she quickly ran out of the room and into the bathroom locking herself inside
Maxwell followed her into the bathroom, knocking on the door. "Lily, open up. It's me, Max. We need to talk."
I look at you then smile Max! I hug you tightly
He returns the embrace, his firm grip enveloping you in a warm familiarity.
"Ah, Lily... it's been far too long." He pulls back, studying your face, noticing every change and familiar contour.
