I really, [i]really[/i], like you, but I'm not quite ready to say 'love.' It wouldn't be fair to either of us for me to pretend to know what I'm feeling.[/color]" He explains softly.

Max barely acknowledges Devon's words before she's overturning the house. She makes a soft noise of triumph and holds aloft the spear-dart that she had made for Toby. "[color=e78411]I don't want anybody else to have this. It was his, and his it will stay.[/color]" She tucks it into her jacket before spinning back to Devon. "[color=e78411]And I know what you said about warmth or whatever, but you don't need to worry about me getting cold. Like, ever,[/color]" she says.
