They continued to walk and by now the others were out of sight and it was just Zoe and Max in the middle of the darkening woods. They had walked most of the way in silence, neither one knowing what to say to the other. Then, Max heard a shriek followed by a thud.

"Oh my gosh, Zoe!" He said rushing to her aid.

"Are you okay?" He said as knelt down beside her and looked at her in the eye.

"I think my shoe broke." She said bluntly.

"But you're okay?" He questioned.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Shall we just get there?" Zoe said trying to stand up but she grabbed on to Max for help.

"Right. I'm carrying you." Max said lifting her up and putting her over his shoulder.

"Max put me down!" Zoe screamed giggling causing Max to laugh as well. He placed her back on the floor and held her around her waist.

"I've missed you." He said pulling Zoe closer to him.

"I can't do this Max." She said wriggling out of his grasp.

"Zoe, please." Max said blocking her path.

"If this is about Dylan and you then it's fine, but just know that I do love you and that will never change." He said sincerely grasping her hand.

" Max, Dylan and I are just friends. Always have been and always will be, but he's not the reason I can't do this."

"Oh, then what is? If you're afraid of people finding out."

"No it's not that either." Zoe said avoiding eye contact.

"Then what Zoe?" Max questioned.

"You slept with someone else Max. I know we technically weren't together but... I just... I can't do it again."

"Zoe, you didn't so much as text me when you went away and then you just show up again, months later out of the blue. I thought you were gone for good, I missed you so much and you probably never thought of me once. I slept with her to ease the pain. It's a pathetic excuse but it's true."

"Sorry." Zoe said and they walked through the woods in silence. Both of them had poured their hearts out but had no idea of what to do next.

They reached the camp an hour later and went their separate ways. Zoe went straight to bed whilst Max sat down in the cabin and picked up the guitar in the corner and started playing.

"What happened there?" Cal asked as the pair didn't acknowledge the others.

"Oh come on guys, you have to be blind to not notice that there is something between them." Tess said smiling.

"Zoe and a porter." Dylan said laughing.

"That doesn't sound very Zoe- like." Cal said agreeing.

"But it does sound like something Max would do." He contradicted himself.

The next morning Zoe woke up early but to her surprise every one else was already awake.

"Morning Dr. Hanna." Cal said admiring that she was dressed in her gym wear.

"Where is everyone else?" Zoe questioned.

"Gregg called and said today we need to bond as a team individually so we have a day free from team building activities. If you want my honest opinion, I don't think they work on a Tuesday. So, Tess went to visit the others at the other camp, Dylan went exploring or something and Max went all macho and is being a lumberjack somewhere." Cal said causing Zoe to laugh.

"Okay. What time do you need me back by?"

"Tess wanted us all back by 12 to have lunch and to do an activity set by Connie."

"Okay. I'll see you then, unless you want to come."

"I'm shattered Zoe and you'll probably distract me anyway."

"Your choice." Zoe said putting her earphones in and jogging off.
