Go back 10 years to college where Max noticed that Liz was in two of his classes. He was too afraid to hang out with her. It took him awhile but he finally asked her out to their now favorite restaurant Flat Top Grill. They dated for a little over a year, but then went separate ways.
Fast forward 7 years right before Covid started and Max reached out to Liz over Facebook wanting to get back in touch. After a few months of talking everyday and a couple FaceTime dates Max drove down to see Liz. They continued having dates inside or at Their favorite drive in theater Tibbs and have been happily in love ever since.
