original_post:_6/27/2003______________________ The College Years storyline finished, and we moved on to the present. At this point, we've learned a lot more about Rae as a character, had some good backstory to Max and where he developed from, and met some interesting supporting characters like Marie, Nate, and Kim (who would later be reintroduced in a major way). In the meantime, Max and Rae seem to have talked out their problems, but I didn't want to just leave it hanging there.
