~ Seattle ~
In a small seafood restaurant on the beach…
Hunter and Mia fed one another while smiling and exchanging glances which showed that they are hungrier for each other than for the food.
More than once Liz stifled a laugh.
"What's funny?", Max asked.
"That", Liz gestured toward Mia and Hunter.
How Max sees it, watching his brother acting like an enamored teenager is NOT funny. But the more vexing part is that he needs to control himself in order not to spook Liz away.
Ah, if this is Max from a month ago, he would whisk Liz away to one of his hookup places and have his way with her. Whole day, and night.
Liz shook her head in disbelief. "I've never seen Mia like this."
Max sighed. He agrees with Liz. "I can't believe that my own brother is making me look away."
"Oy!", Liz called when she threw a piece of breadstick at Mia. "If you two don't cool it off, we are not going to repeat this four-people lunch."
