Maxine gave Zach a saucy smile as he agreed with her assessment. He had no idea just how right 'they' were, and hopefully never would. The news of Zach being a transplant came as a surprise, and her raised eyebrows were a clue. "Oh, of course, take your time." Maxine smiled pleasantly. She had nothing but time. Him, however, not so much.

Shaking her head, she stepped away from the tree to stand next to Zach. "No, no, you can ask them back in." She turned to him with a smile. "Thank you again for the opportunity."
