NICKY!!! It's so good to run into you and Nicky again ahhh. Zita would love and adore him too in return because he'll always be an instant favourite for her. He's definitely welcomed to work at Zita's place if you're up for that. She'll always have a place for him and try to help him out anyway she can.
And oooh I like the sound of Max. Maybe Zita and Max ran into each other during social events at some point? I can see her being a bit put out by him but be admittedly impressed by his ability to talk his way out of trouble.
