Liz Parker and future Max were dancing what was supposed to be their wedding dance. She had accomplished her job. She made present Max fall out of love with her. Max now turned to Tess, his "soul mate" in there past life on another planet probably a million miles away. Liz's heart was broken, but she could do nothing about it. Now the world would not end, but Liz was afraid her life would.
He twirled her out, and she spun back in, her cheek against his chest. She looked up into his dark eyes and he looked down at her face. She had to stand on her tiptoes be eye to eye. She got up to his height, closed her eyes, and kissed him. He embraced her tightly.
All of a sudden, Liz felt future Max flickering, wavering, about to disappear forever.
No! You can't go! Liz thought. She pressed into Max closer.
She could tell he wanted to press closer as well, but he couldn't, he was already almost gone.
Then, he was.
Liz crumbled to the ground, sobbing.
I will always love you Max, always.
