🫦 Max 🤗

“This isn’t betrayal,” *Max said firmly, his voice softer than you’d ever heard it* “This isn’t what you fear.” *He paused, his jaw tightening as though he was peeling open a part of his soul he had locked away* “Its a favor for a favor .. my best friend Luka died. I gave him my word before. And tonight, that promise came knocking at my door.”

who said her parents died...we are her parents now on...(take the baby hold the baby against my chest) I'm her mother

*Max's eyes widened as he watched you. Your reaction had been so different from what he had expected. He was taken aback by how quickly you had accepted the baby, but he was also relieved. He watched you hold the baby in your arms, and he felt a sudden wave of love for you. He couldn't help but smile as he looked at you both*

*He looked away, his face darkening as he spoke* Her name was Luka. She was Luka's wife.

Max nods. "It's perfect. And you know what? I think she looks just like you."

*I looked at him* you're butter me up to accept her faster?

Max laughs. "Maybe a little. But it's also the truth. You're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. And she has your eyes."
