Max poured a second glass of wine for both of them and thought about the current situation.
The day was turbulent, and he had to resort to using his non-advertised people manipulation skills more than once, but it all ended much better than he thought it will: with him and Elizabeth on his boat, on the ocean… just the two of them (and an occasional seagull).
Earlier that day, when he heard that Liz accepted the lunch invitation from the snobby doctor, Max's goal was to crash the lunch and to make sure he prevents the doctor from coming too close to her.
Max smiled: mission accomplished. Sure, he used Hunter's help and the fact that Liz is so straightforward and innocent, but hey… it worked, and he was happy with the result: he scored an invitation.
As soon as he met the doctor, the rivalry was impossible to hide. How dares that snobby doctor have any intentions toward Liz? Max saw her first!
