*******************************************************************

Next thing I know I'm on my baby, my Ninja, driving towards Foggle Towers. I had to talk to Logan; I have no idea what I'm going to say, but I have to say something. I was at the Space Needle when I figured it out......I love him!

I don't know what happened! For a second it looked like she was, you know happy about it. Then the next she was gone. I shouldn't have said anything. I guess I was just hoping that, maybe she felt the same way. A guy can dream right?

(Max sneaks into Logan's penthouse hoping that he doesn't notice her because any extra seconds to try to catch and prepare for what she was about to say would be an enormous help.)

(Max notices that Logan staring blankly out the window not yet noticing her)

Logan turns around feeling Max's presence in the room and hopes it's not just something that he conjured up with wishful thinking.

"Max, you're back." Says Logan trying to hide the shaky emotion in his voice. "Umm, did you forget something?"

"Yea, this!"

With that said Max grabs Logan and wraps her arms around his neck and pulls him into a deep, passionate kiss.

Trying to regain his composure Logan stumbles over his next words.

"Max, don't get me wrong and think that I didn't enjoy that, but what are you doing?"

" Logan, I never should have left without saying what needs to be said." "You told me something before and honestly it scared me. I'm not used to showing my emotions or anyone showing them to me. So I freaked out and left. That's when I realized something...."

(Max starts to move closer when all the lights go out.)

" Guess we're experiencing another one of Seattle's infamous blackouts. Max could you get us some candles?"

If I didn't know better I would say that God was trying to kill me. Stuck in a room with Logan, with no power; lit by candles. I'm gonna die!

(Glow from the candles set a romantic atmosphere)

" So, Max, you were about to say something."

" Oh, right. Ummm you can forget about it.....It's no big deal." Max takes another sip of the pre-pulse wine that Logan has set out for them.

" No, Max, I won't forget about it! That's our problem, we never talk about anything. We shrug it off like it's no big deal. I want to know what it was you were going to say that had you so worked up!"

(Knowing that she isn't going to get out of this Max takes a deep breath and moves over to the window and looks out at the broken city underneath.)

(Whispering so that Logan has to strain his ears to actually hear what it is she is saying)

" Damn it Logan, I love you!"

(Max begins to cry)

" And it scares me ok?!? It scares me more then the thought of getting caught and sent back to Manticore!"

I've never seen Max cry before. Well except for at my cousins wedding and when she was telling OC who and what she really is. She is usually so tuff and strong; like she doesn't need anyone....ever!

(Logan rolls over to where Max is.)

"Max, it's ok to be afraid. We can push past these fears together. That's the great thing about being in love; you don't have to do everything alone anymore!"

(Logan takes hold of Max's hand and brings her down to his level. Then with thumb and index he wipes away the stray tears which are running down her soft cheek.)

" Max, I love you and I want to help you with whatever problems come your way."

(Logan plants a soft, quick kiss on Max's full lush lips.)

"But, if you're not ready, tell me!"

(After pulling Logan into such a deep passionate kiss that made all the other ones leading up to this one insignificant, Max pulls away.)

"Logan, I'm ready. I love you!"

"I love you too Max!"
