Max Tanner-Fuller Hale was an exceptional kid born to be a leader and rule over the science world. No one believed, but his first word was "x," as in the letter x used in math equations. As I said, no one believes. At age 20, he graduated from McGill with an engineering degree. Now, he is 28, living a strict life with all his goals achieved; nothing in this world he can't do, but one thing is preventing him from mastering his goals.
Rose.
The girl is known to steal any man's heart if she glances at him once. A brilliant girl and the only rival of Max Tanner-Fuller Hale. So, of course, she went to McGill with Max because, again, they had the same goals from the start; for god's sake, they fought to be the class valedictorian. As expected, she beat Max again and graduated from McGill at 19. The only one who could push his buttons and annoy the heck out of him but also the one who calms him down and is his safe place. Everyone thought they were a match made in heaven and hell. They were the best couple known everywhere.
They had started the relationship when they were seven years old, and they dated for 17 years, but sadly they broke up. No one knows what happened between them.
Rivals in brains, lovers in the heart.
So that's a little backstory of our favourite couple. Fast-forward 4 years; let us watch their lives now.
