“He loves you Liz. And whether you except it or not, he’s not going to let you go this time.” Michael rubbed his brow with his free thumb.

Liz stared at him for a brief moment, “What about Tess.”

“What about her? We’re all pretty much paired up Liz, Izzy and Alex, me and Maria, you and Max… It’s just a matter of time before Kyle and Tess pair up.” He shrugged and returned to flipping burgers.

Liz closed her eyes and took a deep breath before marching up to Max and taking his order, “Can I help you?”

“Uh yea I just want a slice of Men in Blackberry pie please, Alex?” Isabel grinned, giving Alex a small kiss on the cheek and gave Liz back the menu.

“Um, the same.” He replied to Liz, but looked at Isabel.

Liz stared at them in wonder. Did they have to be so public about their whole relationship? Sadness hit her suddenly when she realized that, that used to be her and Max. All lovey dovey and staring at each other for so long that it felt as if no one else was ever even in their presence to begin with.

“And, “Liz cleared her throat, “You… Max?”

He lifted his head and gazed into her eyes, “You.” He whispered, loud enough for only her to hear, he shut his science book shut.

“Uh…” Liz was surprised and stood frozen. Just then she saw Tess and Kyle walk into the CrashDown holding hands. I thought that they considered each other brother and sister? Liz thought to herself. But that thought was before she saw Kyle grab Tess into a long fervent kiss, “Uh… What?” Liz shook the scene from her head and looked back to a smiling Max Evans, “What? Why are you looking at me like that?” Liz took a small step back.

“Just because.” Max grinned.

“Because… Why?” Liz raised an eyebrow.

“I’m just waiting for my order to be filled.” He replied crossing his arms confidently. Reminding Liz of his character in the play.

“So I guess it’s true.” She finally let a small smile escape her lips.

“You guess what’s true?” He responded turning his body towards her.

Then Liz surprised them all by jumping into Max’s Lap.

“I really was, Waiting For Odysseus.” She grinned kissing him finally.

Max was over come with joy and happiness as a thousand images passed through them both. It was time; it was their time to finally follow their true destiny. And that was… To be together.
