After breakfast they checked out and got back onto the road.

"So Max do you want to stop off anywhere before we hit Seattle?" Chloe asked.

Max pondered for a few seconds "well we could pull over and go for a quite walk around the woodlands before we hit the big city."

"I gottcha."

After a few minutes Chloe did indeed pull over.

"Well let's stretch our legs then."

Max 'hmmed' in agreement as she followed Chloe out of the truck.

The two of them walked through the woods letting the conversation swing from one topic, (such as what Max got up to in Seattle in more detail) to another (The fact that Chloe dyed her hair a number of colours before settling on blue.)

"It's starting to get cold." Max complained.

"Aww well, I'll keep you warm." Chloe replied throwing her arm over Max and pulling her in.

"Do you want to go back to the truck or what?" Chloe asked after a few more minutes of walking.

Max shook her head "actually would you mind stepping up there?" she asked pointing to a rise in the ground.

"Sure." Chloe said walking to the area that Max was pointing at.

"Ok now look…I don't know thoughtful or something."

"Ha ok." Chloe laughed as she took a pose and Max shot a few photos.

"Good to see you taking pictures again." Chloe said as she walked back over to Max.

"yeah well I thought you should be the first one I take." Max said blushing.

"well did it at least look good?" Chloe asked leaning into Max.

"Yeah…I think so." Max whispered.

"good." Chloe said smiling before she kissed Max,

"Come on, we need to get to your parents." Chloe said taking Max's hand and walking back.

"Chloe…" Max started when they got back into the truck.

"yeah?"

"Well I think we should tell my parents when we get there and be damned about the consequences." Max said with vigour.

"Wow Max really? What if they kick you out?" Chloe asked.

"erm we'll just find some cheap hotels until we can go back to Arcadia Bay." Max suggested.

"ha fair if that's what you want to do then sure, I'm with you no matter what." Chloe promised.
