Later that night Alec and Max went to dinner and Alec said, "Max, there has been something that I have been wondering about."

Max glanced at Alec and asked, "Well what is it?"

Alec questioned, "I want to know the real reason you came to Smallville for? And don't give me that answer you told everyone earlier." Max glanced away "I know that was not true because you would had to search to find out where I was; because no one from home knew where I was." Max remained silent "Come one Max we have been through enough for you to be straight up with me."

Max took a deep breath and replied, "Logan got me the information to where you were."

Alec puzzled, "Why?"

Max answered, "Because things were bad for me with you gone. Call Sketchy and just ask him he will tell you." Alec questioned in his head about that. Logan hated him and even more hated him being with Max. So why would he help Max find me if things weren't really bad? Tears began to slightly glisten in her eyes as Alec looked at her "God this is so hard…there were times I ran to hide afraid to show you the other side of me, but now I'm alone in the night without you."

Alec looked down for a second as Max continued on "But, I now I know who you are and I know you will always own my heart. I finally realize with you is where I belong…it is you who I have…" Tears came streaming down her face as Alec's expression softens towards Max. His heart began to break and go weak inside. "Loved all along" Alec just sat there unsure what to say. Max's eyes pleaded with him "Say something."

Alec spoke, "That girl in the hospital…"

Max nodded and replied, "You're in love with her." Alec glanced away while hearing Max's voice cracking. "Uh….whew I didn't expect that one." Alec remained silent "I should go." Max walked out of the restruaunt and Alec did not go after her.
