original_post:_3/17/2006____________________________ So Max continues to be honest with Alli, and here’s where it all becomes clear how much he still loves her. He has nothing to lose, really, so he confesses to her. Alli’s reluctance is fueled by being close and losing him as a friend, because they work together now, and because she has seen a different side of him after he was with Naomi and Rae. I didn’t want them to just get back together, but this was a very slow road to get to a place where they would be able to even confess how they really feel.
