“Max? Where have you been?” 99 exclaimed.
“Would you believe I was backpacking across northern Europe?”
“I find that hard to believe, Max….” 99 answered warmly.
“But I am soooo glad to have you back. Working with Larabee was hard….” she breathed in confession.
“Oh…well, would you believe southern Europe?”
“I’m sure you made the most of it, 99,” Max replied, clipping her playfully on the shoulder. “I knew Control wouldn’t completely collapse in my absence if I left you here.”
He grinned smugly.
“Uhuh….” 99 shakes her head no.
Long lashes flutter over turquoise pools and a slight rosy blush finds its way into her cheeks as Max playfully bumps her shoulder. “Oh Max,” she breathes softly.
“Did you miss me while you were gone?” The brunette inquires.
“How about Hershey, Pennsylvania?” Max shrugged with his final attempt.
Max put a hand to his chest and said, “Of course I did, 99. In fact, while I was away I saw something that put me in mind of you almost immediately. I looked up and thought, ‘that has 99 written all over it’!” He stretched a hand out as if he were seeing the item in a store window at that very moment. “It was a very nice dress, it looked just like the one you wore when he had to go undercover in Kansas. Of course, this one had Magilla Gorilla on it.”
