Chapter 34:
Zoe and Max walked out of the ED and Max put both his and Zoe's bags into the boot whilst Zoe walked straight to the driver's seat. As Max entered the car he could see that Zoe looked stressed and upset.
"Do you think I'm doing the right thing leaving him to deal with his ex girlfriends dying mother on his own?" Zoe asked as her conscience kicked in.
"Do you think you're doing the right thing?" Max rephrased the question aiming it at Zoe.
"I don't know. I just don't want to let anyone down and it's going to be a decision between you and Nick." Zoe said as she hit her head repeatedly against the steering wheel in frustration.
"Zoe, you don't have to come with me. If you want to stay, then we will stay but you are the one that is going to have to make that decision."
"Why are so good to me?" Zoe asked to which Max just smiled. Zoe took a second to let out a loud sigh and then she started the car engine and reversed out of her parking space. Max gave her a confused look as he was sure that Zoe would stay and help Nick.
"Zoe, you can stay if you want." He said questioning her decision.
"I know, but Nick can deal with this. I haven't seen him in years and then he suddenly shows up out of the blue and expects me to drop everything to be with him. Plus I was kind of looking forward to this weekend."
"Okay, only if you're sure. I just want you to be happy Zoe; surely you know that by now."
"I know and going back to my hometown and watching my home team with the man I love will definitely make me happy." Zoe said as she had realised at that moment she had everything that she wanted.
"You are a charmer Zoe Hanna."
"I learnt from the best." She said winking at Max.
