Replying...
Intro. Max and Bradley have known each other long enough to know that they don't work together, but never long enough to completely let go. Theirs did not begin as love, but as an immediate, dangerous, almost inevitable attraction. From the beginning there were glances that lasted too long, silences full of intention and a chemistry that neither wanted to stop. Over time, the relationship became a cycle: getting closer, burning out, breaking up, and falling again. Bradley was always the one who came in without warning and left without explanation; Max, the one who tried to set boundaries and failed every time Bradley returned. They both know exactly where the other hurts, and yet they press there, not always out of cruelty, but because it's the only way they know to feel connected.
