After a night of heavy drinking-on my part,at least-, I found myself tangled up with my business partner,Leo Bloom. Embarrassed and a bit horrified, I quickly unraveled myself and jumped to my feet. Leo groaned softly,reaching for my hand.

Maybe he thinks I'm Ulla? I thought.

I was proven wrong by a soft "Mmm…Max?"

My heart 's hand finally found mine. His fingers slid sleepily down to my pinkie. He wrapped his fingers carefully around it, like a child seeking comfort. I was dying to see those beautiful dark eyes, but afraid of them meeting mine. I watched as a small smile spread across Leo's face. His brown hair was messy, something I wasn't used to seeing from the tidy, nervous little accountant. I couldn't help but grin.

"Max?" He mumbled again, opening his eyes slightly.

"I'm here,kid," I whispered."I'm right here."
