Audrey poured herself another Martini as she waited, not at all nonchalantly, for the buzzer to sound. She fiddled with her phone and watched Aki across the room from the corner of her eye. Their relationship was stronger than ever, and yet, the recent French Farce with Wolfe only illuminated the missing piece. They weren’t fulfilled because they weren’t whole. At least she hoped Aki found that argument compelling whenever Max finally appeared. “Do you want one?” She asked before knocking back the dry gin and refilling. She strongly suspected Aki would doubt her intentions, even think her cruel for dangling such a teasing solution before him but she was perfectly serious.

"nothing, why?" aki's hiding something, maybe the fact that audrey doesn't think about him during sex -- or maybe the fact that he's into men more than he thought he would be. of course, max doesn't have to know anything about that, not right now. eyes studying the other, chewing on his lower lip, wanting to ask questions about how he knew about his sexuality, but he halts. because he doesn't want to seem like he invading his privacy. god, why's it got to be so hard? "i -- max, can i ask you something?"

⌜—           It was an impulse, a desire to simply not hold back anymore because she didn't want any more fights, she didn't want any more events to simply emerge between the two of them but above all if there was one thing she knew was that she wanted him, not sex, even if he didn't want to have with her he simply wanted it with her. Her lips trailed against his, feeling the taste she loved so much but she pulled away from him. "I don't want to be away from you, I can't..." she whispered against his lips.              ⸥

Perhaps she was just feeling JADED about the whole thing, but he did have a point, whether she was ready to admit that out loud or not. Even when they were trying so desperately to be what they wanted to be perceived as--no matter the lie--it was hard to find the truth. For that, Hope really felt like you had to catch someone off guard. “I don’t know if it’s that SIMPLE, Max. I don’t think you can really know someone unless they’re ready to show you themselves...or at least until your walls come down a little, be it on purpose or by accident.”

Audrey threw him a wistful stare before looking away. “I don’t think I should discuss how I feel about him with you,” she replied. Perhaps that was the true sign that they weren’t really friends.

"finally someone sees it the way i do!" she goes, looking over at max with a wide smile, shaking her head as she thinks about the others doubting her --- she thinks, maybe her and max are almost the same person, just different. "at least you aren't as dense as the others fucking are," she goes, a small chuckle leaving her lips as her eyes glance around, a hum leaving her lips before she looks back at him. "y'know, wolfe, we aren't the horrible ones of the group."
