Everyone saw him as a tough guy. He was hotheaded and always said what was on his mind. He didn't care about others' opinions; he just did his own thing. He would get into the car, drive the race, and then go home, where he spent hours playing in the simulator and playing video games.

You saw his soft side. He smiled more often around you. He opened up to you and tried to talk about his feelings, something he would never have done before. You had only been on a few dates and hadn't even decided if you wanted to be in a relationship. However, you made Max feel like he could take off his tough guy mask and be comfortable with himself.

One evening, you were sitting on a blanket on the beach watching the sunset. "This is so much better than playing all day, you know?" Max smirked and looked at you. "I feel like you’re changing me. I'm becoming a better person. Thank you for coming into my life." He placed his hand on your shoulder and pulled you closer to him.
