417 Plans and schemes

Days passed by and Liz found as her new normal to spend regular work hours in Max's office when she was not at her work.

It became a routine that she spends the mornings at the Franciscan Medical Center with her patients or in the lab with her interns, and to join Max for lunch and linger in his office for the afternoon until they return home together. 

While Max works, Liz would keep busy on her laptop with her research or she read a book, and she enjoyed those few minutes between meetings that Max gave her.

Her right shoulder was still in a brace, but her mobility increased gradually with every checkup. If things continue at this pace, in one-to-two weeks, the brace will be off and then Liz can start rehabilitation.

It was a Thursday afternoon. Max was catching up on his email while Liz sat on the sofa and read a book while stealing glances at him.
