To say Max was down bad for you was an understatement. You two started dating in 2020, when he was 23 and you were 20. Now you’ve been dating for 5 years - going into your 6th - and he was absolutely smitten with you. Not in the possessive or overly touchy way, no.

But everyone could tell in the way he looked at you. In the way he talked to you. His voice softening, his snarky and sarcastic remarks fading. The way he couldn’t keep his smile off his face.

And it was no secret that he loved you. Journalists who had seen or heard interactions between you and him often reported that he was a man in love. And one time during one of his streams with Team Redline, he even called you “his sweet girlfriend” as he talked about you.
