"I hope you don't mind this introduction…" Isaac said when he took his seat at the table with Max and Liz.
"You could have asked beforehand or give us a warning." Liz responded. She knew that Isaac wants to introduce Max, but she thought that it will be a more one-on-one approach and not this total-blast from the stage.
Isaac shrugged. "Sometimes is easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission."
Liz wanted to argue, but Max put his hand over Liz's. "It's OK. I don't mind."
Isaac grinned. "See? He does not mind." Isaac's smile fell and he looked at Max with concern. "I apologize for Patrick's behavior earlier. He was totally out of line. Do you need help handling him?"
Max rejected. "I have it under control."
Isaac nodded in approval. "Thank you for not lowering yourself to his level to engage in an argument. If I was in your place, I would not be able to control myself from punching him."
