Summary: Home again home again
Setting: Max's Apartment
When Max arrived home from her date with Logan, Kendra and Original Cindy were waiting for her on the couch. Max was too excited about Logan's progress in therapy (being able to stand and sort of dance) to notice they were in the room.
"I hope that goofy grin means ya got some," Original Cindy spouted from the other side of the room.
"No…It means…I'm happy," Max said biting her lip.
"You're happy? With the rich boy?"
"Yes," Max said closing her eyes, for the first time really admitting it to herself. She liked being with Logan in this way. It was amazing. He was amazing. She didn't feel like pretending anymore that it was no big deal to her. Somewhere along the way, it had become a very big deal.
"Now, I cannot remember anything, but your precious baby causing you to smile like that. I guess you liked the date?" Kendra asked.
"How could you not tell me?" Max demanded.
"How could she not tell you?!? How could she not tell me? I came right over here after work to tell her what I knew," Original Cindy said in annoyance.
"Hey. Logan made me promise. He didn't tell me when or how he was going to get you there so I couldn't spill to you. I didn't even know it was tonight until Cindy came over," Kendra said to defend herself. "So will you tell us about it? What did he do?"
"There was this great view of the city, a string quartet, a private waiter and ballroom, and a fabulous meal. Great job with the dress and shoes, by the way. We had a great time just being together. Then, Logan got up with his braces on his legs to dance, but we mainly held each other. It was really sweet," Max said with a big grin.
"I just can't get over how happy you look," Kendra commented, as Max looked a little bashful.
"Ya got a real toothy smile, I never noticed before. It looks good on ya Boo… Logan is a good man to treat ya so well," Original Cindy stated.
"Yeah, he was really sweet about setting this all up," said Kendra.
"In other words, we approve. Ya done good with this one," said Cindy.
"Thanks…" Max said with a far off look.
"So…are you two going to be…banging the gong anytime soon?" Kendra asked.
"With the man on his feet again, there is no telling what other talents he may have reacquired. I won't push…. When it happens, it happens," Max said.
//Dear God let it happen soon. //
