Helanie:
"Good morning, how was your night?" Maximus uttered from behind me, joining me in my morning walk.
I'd suited up in the tracksuit early this morning as I was determined to work on my strength. I was determined to get used to doing things beyond my capacity.
"It was weird," I replied, taking long and big strides. Maximus looked fresh as hell. He was blushing red in the cheeks from the cold and was probably headed for his morning jog as well.
"You can go ahead, jog, I am only brisk walking," I said, acting like I didn't know he was purposely walking slow so that he could spend time with me.
"My goal is right beside me, so I don't need to run after it." He probably smirked. I know him so well now. Every time he talked and smirked, his voice sounded much more cheerful.
