Maximus stayed quiet throughout, not daring to utter a word.

Ashley laughed, "You cheeky monkey."

Maximus forced a smile, "Is it really over?"

Ashley sighed, "Maybe she doesn't want to let go. You need to dig deep and find that resolve you once had, see if it changes anything."

Maximus said, "I can't. It's been years; she's high up there now; I can't just barge in."

Ashley said, "But if you never try, you'll never know. Maximus, neither of you are spring chickens anymore; no time to dilly-dally."
