Not skipping steps

Liz entered the room and exhaled in relief when she closed the door behind her.

"Safe!", she told herself before going to the bedroom to check on Max. Is he still sleeping?

Just as Liz peeked into the bedroom and confirmed that Max is not in the bed, the bathroom door opened, and Max walked out.

Based on his damp hair, Liz concluded that he took a shower. But… is it necessary to wear only bermuda shorts? Why doesn't he cover up that toned torso?

Max paused at the sight of Liz staring at him and smirked. Yup, he has that effect on the ladies and he is more than happy that Liz approves of his looks.

"Thanks for leaving me a note.", Max said while walking toward Liz. "I was worried when I woke up without you by my side. How was the garden?"

He saw that Liz is not responding and decided to tease her. In few swift steps he was in front of her, lifting her up. He fell on the bed with Liz in his arms.
