Chapter 17: Max's Suspicious Probe

Now that he was there, there was no way I was kicking him out. I pretended to be as happy as I had been in the past that he was staying in my apartment. I went to cut up some fruit and added a bit of cheese. Max was going to help me in the kitchen, and I said no, it was just a simple little snack.

Max suggested watching a movie together, just when neither of us had anything else to do that afternoon. He pulled the living room curtains tight, turned on my projector, adjusted an old movie, and waited for me to watch it together.

This was a regular program for both of us every time Max came over. We then preferred this type of viewing to the movie theater and felt very comfortable and at ease.
