Maximus took a piece of the apple in front of him cut by Flavia. Flavia was smiling as she was cutting the other fruits. He saw the grapes and pomegranate on the plate and he remembered the steamy night they had. There were many nights like that after that. But now, she is not here. And he probably will never have such nights again.
He is going to die. That too in her hand.
But he had hope. Maybe like their previous life, she will find a way to be together with him again. Or she might be already bored with him and would get back to the heavens to be with the gods.
Either way, she has chosen to get back at Arioch and avenge him for everything he did, and he is pretty much happy about it.
And now he needs to do the necessary steps to change the past.
"Flavia, what if everything you know about me is a lie?" he asked. He picked a piece of the fruits and gave it to Flavia and she accepted it.
