"All girls are hard to understand at that age. I know I was, and almost made my dad's hair grey," Max said with a small shrug.
She followed Ronon to the empty bedroom, and stepped inside. Turning around, she smiled at him. "Thanks...for everything," she told him before stepping further in the room. When he turned around, and spoke to her again, Max smiled and nodded before shutting the door.
Max climbed into the bed, exhausted from everything, and found herself falling right to sleep. The alarm on her watch woke her early the next morning so she decided to get up before the kids did. After writing a small note to Ronon, thanking him for allowing her to stay, and telling him she was off to see Colonel Jackson, she sat it on the bed and slipped out of the quarters.
She went down to her lab, where she kept an extra set of clothes, and showered there. When she was finished, she sat at her desk and turned on her tablet. Max proceeded to delete everything about the IOA, deciding a fresh start was needed, especially since she was staying on Atlantis.
Once she was finished, Max left her lab, and went up to Operations. She saw Colonel Jackson sitting in her office so she took a deep breath and walked over to the door. She softly knocked on it and looked in.
"Colonel Jackson? I need to speak to you about something."
