Max and Zoe sat alone nothing else in the world mattered now. Max had just nearly lost he person that meant the most to him in the whole world and that wasn't something the weighted lightly on him.

His hands trembled as he took Zoe's hand in his. This was not how the happiest day of their life was meant to play out. Everything has come crashing down around them and now they were here. Stuck in a rut wit seemingly no way out.

Max watched as she lay silently, unmoving on the hospital bed. Her ruined wedding dress lying in the chair on the opposite side of the bed. This was wrong, it was all so wrong and yet in a way max felt it was somewhat right.

Their relationship had so many flaws but the pure terror he felt when he couldn't find Zoe as the fire spread through the tent, made him realise that he loved her with every inch of his body. His heart ached as he watched the rise and fall of her chest.

But in the back of his mind a thought still remained, she had slept with another man. She has betrayed him. Would they ever get past it. Would it ever really be okay. Could this really make them stronger. So many questions and yet there were no answers.

"Zoe I'm sorry, I should have listened to you, this was all so avoidable. But I can't forgive you not yet. One day I will, I have to I vowed to spend the rest of my life with you, to forsake all others, till death so is part. It will still be the happiest day of our lives, or was the day we both realised that we can't survive another day without each other. You complete me, the missing piece to my jigsaw. You can't leave me, I still and always will love you. Zoe we can get through this we just have to believe, we have to fight and most importantly we have to remember that we are more together.

Max woke to the rush of a nurse, he sat up with a jolt.

"Is she okay?"

"Yes don't worry, sorry I woke you"

"No it's okay."

It was morning, he must have dropped off. Zoe was still lying still, her face looked haunted. Her mind whirled with thoughts of Max, of the wedding disaster and of the naked man she had woken to find in her bed. It was all wrong all of it. She tried to force her eyes to open, to see Max, she felt his hands on hers he still cares after everything she's put him through. Her eyes were so heavy. They opened slightly the light in the room flooding her pupils. Max stood up looking over at Zoe's face, resting a hand on her cheek.

"Zoe" he spoke tenderly.

"Max" she croaked back, her throat hoarse.

"Max I'm so sorry."

"Zoe shh, it's not the time right now. Later.""I'm here for you, just relax I'm going nowhere. I still love you, I will always love you."

"Max, I love you too, I'm so sorry. It was.. It's all wrong. This wasn't meant to be like this. None of it makes any sense. What was I thinking. I risked everything for nothing. One drunken mistake. I was so scared, so many seeds of doubt planted into my intoxicated mind. I'm sorry, I ruined the best day of our lives. Max I don't expect you to forgive me right away and I know I've destroyed all the trust but I hope over time you'll learn to forgive me to trust me and then we can finally be happy."

"Zoe stop talking. No matter what happens just remember I will never ever stop loving you."

Tears streamed down Zoe's face as Max stood up and left the room. He needed space, time to figure things out. To get things straight in his head. So many thoughts, so many emotions and so much he wished to forget. Zoe was going to be okay, they could get through this somehow, someway and he was going to find a way. He had to for his own peace of mind and she his new wife. It still felt strange calling Zoe his wife but she was now Mrs Walker and that meant the world to him.

Tomorrow was another day, he still didn't fully know what the future held for the Walkers.
