CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

"Your freezing" said max

"Well I have been outside all day" said Zoe

Max pulled into a hug, unexpectedly.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" said Zoe

"Well I may not have been listening to the teacher at that first aid course you sent me too but I am using what I did learn" said max

"Did you finally listen because the examiner was hot?" said Zoe

"No" said max

Zoe raised her eyebrows at max; she knew what he was like.

"Ok" said max "but that was before you kissed me, I always thought it would be the other way round"

"Rule one, never be predictable" said Zoe smiling

Max laughed as he walked with Zoe.

"I shouldn't be spending the second anniversary of my husbands and daughters death with another man" said Zoe letting go of max hand

"yes, but I am spending the night with you not the other way round" said max "and besides I can always sleep on the sofa"

"I thought you would have ran a mile by now" admitted Zoe as her and maxis hands rejoined

"What do you mean?" said Max

"Well you are or were having a fling with a woman who was married and had a child" said Zoe

"and why would that matter?" said Max "and who said it was a fling?"

Zoe looked up at max at this point as he cupped her face in his hands and kissed her.

"We should not be doing this" said Zoe against max's lips

"There are a lot of things I shouldn't be doing" admitted Max "so which part?"

"The part where we are kissing in a grave yard which the whole staff are and where my husband and daughter are buried in on the two year anniversary of there death" said Zoe

"Sorry" said max stepping away from Zoe "you're grieving for your husband and daughter and I am kissing you"

"Daughter" said Zoe

"What?" said Max

"I am grieving for my daughter not my husband" admitted Zoe

"Oh, that's very nice" said max sarcastically

"no, I mean I knew nick was dying and I knew that those five years I gave him wouldn't last forever so when the time came I was ready, well not ready but I knew it was happening" said Zoe "I could give my husband an extra five years but only give my daughter two days"

"It wasn't your fault" said max "you went into early labor, it couldn't have been prevented"

"But I couldn't even carry my baby" said Zoe

As max hugged zoe as she silently started crying, max had never seen her like his before and had no idea what to do when that strong zoe Hanna he was just having a casual fling with this morning turned into the zoe Hanna he was falling for, but crying as the box she was trying to hide all her grief in had exploded.
