Alex Brock can't come home. He booked a flight tonight.
"Where to go?" Asked Max Andrews.
Alex Brock realized that the atmosphere between the two had changed since Max Andrews had just made a statement.
He was not used to it, but he did not hate it, so he answered, "Boston." He paused and added, "I'm going on a business trip."
Then he looked at Max Andrews subconsciously, but the other side only nodded faintly, "so ah."
No mention of coming along.
If she's going, it's just a matter of asking the assistant to buy a plane ticket. But when she didn't mention it, he gave up. Alex Brock thought it might be a good thing to have a cooling-off period to think about his relationship with Max Andrews.
Max Andrews was a big surprise to him.
He doesn't usually allow things to get out of his control, and now his feelings are getting out of hand.
