Chapter 0623

After a few minutes of silence, watching the city lights, Diana and Maximus got back in the car. Their conversation continued, casual and light, like two old friends catching up. Diana was trying to understand the new life of the man she had waited for over six years. After driving for a while, they finally arrived at the address Diana had given him. Maximus planned to drop her off at the entrance, but she invited him in for coffee. He knew that accepting that coffee might lead to something he wasn’t sure how to navigate.

They took the elevator to the apartment, her company had rented for a month while she looked for something more permanent. Diana held his hand as if they were a couple, surprising him by humming a song. He frowned, trying to catch the lyrics, but couldn’t make them out. When the elevator dinged, announcing their floor, they walked to the door, and Diana pulled out her keycard.

The apartment was warm and welcoming, a relief from the chill of the approaching winter. Maximus was startled to see a gray tabby cat waiting by the door and a black one napping peacefully on the couch.

“The gray one’s Richie, and the black one is Max. I named him that because he’s a bit grumpy, but I adore them both,” Diana said, smiling.

“Yes…”

“Why Max?”

“I don’t know! Maybe he reminded me a little of you,” she teased with a sly grin.

“Diana!”
