"I'm Liz." His smile grew to beaming proportions, "That's pretty." Liz blushed slightly, and looked away, "Thank you."        He stared at her face for a moment as if trying to memorize it's every curve and line, then he pulled her up to sit next to him. It was quiet for a long moment before Liz broke the silence. "Why were sleeping on this bench?" "Because I don't have any money." He said thinking that should've been obvious. "Where else could I've gone?"    Liz looked away from his face after a moment in resignation, he was right. It wasn't like her dad would've allowed him to stay with them. She tried to change the subject. "Where did you come from?"       She watched as his face set, his lips shrunk into a small angry line, and something dark passed over his eyes. He looked down for a second to collect himself then turned his head back up with a forced smile. "I'm from New York." Liz sat quietly for a second, when she realized that he wasn't going to continue she pushed for a little more information. "Why didn't you bring any money with you from home?"       She noticed that he was looking everywhere but at her. After a while she thought that he wasn't going to answer the question and was ready to abort mission, "Find out more about Max" when he finally answered. "I was in a hurry." When he again didn't volunteer any information, Liz pushed a little harder. "What were you in a hurry for?" Max's head snapped up. "What the hell is this," he hissed at Liz, "a gotdamn interrogation?"    Liz recoiled from his angry outburst and looked at her shoes. She hadn't realized she'd been treading on such dangerous grounds. She couldn't help wondering though, what he was hiding in his past. -----------------------------------------------------       Max took a few calming breathes and snuck a glance or two at the side of Liz's face. She was looking down and her eyes were all big, he'd upset her and he didn't like how much that upset *him*. "look, I'm sorry Liz" He finally said trying to win back her affections.   "You were just asking so many questions and I sorta snapped at you." "I'm sorry” he said all of a sudden.       When he saw she wasn't looking at him and he grabbed the side of her face gently and turned it toward him as he leaned into her the way she'd done earlier the day before. "Do you believe me?" She watched his face and smiled at him.        "Of course I do.'    He smiled and pulled her face toward him. He touched his lips to hers softly before he realized what he was doing and he comprehended how stiff she was. He pulled away quickly. "Sorry." he said softly, "I had no right to touch you like that." "It's O.K " She replied.         "It would be even better if you told me why you were in such a hurry to leave New York.” She new she was pushing it with that question, but all he did was smile. "Maybe someday. Tell me why you date such a jackass." He said easily changing subjects. She looked at him and smiled, "Maybe someday" she replied. She gloried upon the laughter that she'd brought him. "Yeah, maybe someday." He muttered
