They were so lost in a kiss that they didn't hear when Isabel and Michael called them. Nor did they hear when Isabel and Michael entered the cave.

Isabel cleared her throat loudly to get their attention. "Ahem!"

Max and Tess stop kissing when they found they had an audience.

"Hi guys," Max said with a goofy grin on his face. It made Tess laugh. Michael was pretty amused by all of this.

"Hmm, so this is what was taking you guys so long," Michael said. He expected Max to glare at him and was surprised when he didn't.

"So are you guys..." Isabel asked.

Max and Tess looked at each other. "Yeah."

Max stopped in front of Tess' house. He had already dropped off Michael and Isabel.

"Do you want to come inside?" Tess asked.

"Sure." They needed to talk.

"So where's the Sheriff and Kyle?" Max asked as he sat next to Tess on the couch.

"The Sheriff's at work and Kyle, I'm not sure where he is."

Max looked into her eyes and smiled.

"Y'know, this is kinda strange. When I woke up this morning I didn't think my day would end like this," Tess said.

"Me too, but I'm glad it is," he said looking into her eyes.
