Max carried Liz to the upper deck and sat on the sofa with her in his lap.
The water dripped from their soaked clothes, but neither of them cared about it.
Max cradled Liz in his arms and held her tightly and she melted in his arms under the intensity of his emotions which radiated from him.
The two of them held each other in silence and Liz thought about Max's words: 'I don't know what I would do if something happens to you'. Those words filled her with a warm and fuzzy feeling which spread through her, and at the same time, she knew that he means it, that he is concerned about her and that he would do anything in his power to keep her safe, even jump recklessly from the upper deck of a powerboat, or from a cliff. If that is not a love confession, nothing is.
