183 Back to the thinking spot

Liz got out of the restroom in a daze and she walked toward Max with her head lowered.

Max noticed that Liz's mood if off. "Are you OK?"

"Uhm… I'm not sure. I need some time to think.", Liz responded absentmindedly.

Max was confused. What happened? Why is she saying this? She was fine only a few minutes ago. She wants to think? What does that mean? Does she want them to separate so that she can have some time for herself? She is not thinking of kicking him out for the night, is she?

He remembered that the last time when she told him that she wants to think, he took her to his powerboat.

"Do you want to go to my thinking spot?", Max offered.

Liz realized that Max is talking about his boat. That vessel is a synonym for peace while all the drama is far away. With her emotions all over the place, Liz craves for solitude, with Max.

She nodded in response.
