There's something incredibly human in him then that's stunning, scary, but thrilling and honest and so priceless she can't help but feed off his fear and frustration until the house is filled with their shouting.
"You're such a genius, you're so flipping smart, but you don't even get what's right in front of you. Why do you have to think so much?" Her hands clench as if itching to strangle or shake him. Maybe both. "You're-"
The words catch somewhere in her chest. Max wants to shove him, knock him around, rough him up for causing so much strife inside her, but her hands are kept at her sides and her voice comes out in a flurry as if it's all built up in the span of a moment.
"You're freaking important, okay? You matter--to me--and you don't just turn your back on someone who matters! I like being around you. I like being here, even if you are totally crazy and unpredictable. I don't want to leave!"
