Our history

you were not only the first, you are the only one'.

- "it all started with a nose in a plastic bag..."

---

- "so was that story true?"

-"Maya, everything I told you was true. I just didn't say it was about you. But I never lied about what I told you. Not about our first meeting. Not about the fact that you were there first to rescue Andrea and me, not about the time I was late to the delivery room."

- "Was that me too?" She said with a huge smile.

- "oh yes, it was you and it wasn't the first time you made me late..."

- "and it wasn't the last one either... So how did I hit on you ?"

- "how did you hit on me?" She asked with a smile

- "What wasn't me?"

- "oh no, it's not you..."

- "Tell me about it" she said, biting her lip.

- "it was February 20, 2020, you were at Joe's at the counter..."

- "I knew it!"

- "shhhh and you weren't sure of anything first! So you were sitting at the counter drinking a glass of whiskey. I came over and sat down next to you. You glanced in my direction and turned back to your glass... Obviously more attractive than me...

And I approached you. At first I had a doubt, I knew I had seen you and then it came back to me, I had seen you that very day."

- "and I was already a captain? I think so... You already told me the story of the plastic bag..."

- "Are you going to let me tell the story or are you going to interrupt me at every turn?"

- "I'll shut up!"

- "so I asked you if you hadn't come to the hospital earlier in the day, and you said you had brought something, that you were a firefighter, and it came back to me, you were the beautiful blonde who had run, earlier in the day, with a nose in a plastic bag... Which I pointed out to you. About the nose... Not the fact that you were gorgeous. And you introduced yourself to me as 'Captain Maya Bishop' with your killer smile... Kind of like you're doing right now... And I introduced myself... Like what is for you the first time..."

-"I must have been under the direct spell... The way you introduce yourself... I don't even have a word for it".

- "you made the same face both times. It was lovely. You were adorable. Then I offered to buy you a drink in exchange for your story. You apologized and told me you were drinking alone..."

- "Am I stupid or what?"

- "Maybe you thought I was a straight little girl who was curious... Anyway... I insisted... a little bit... I asked you if you were sure, with my best smile. You looked me up and down and replied that 'maybe not'..."

- "so I hit on you a little bit"

-"I call it mate... I've been working you pretty hard... If that's what you mean... You let me hit on you, let's say... But don't worry... There are plenty of other interesting parts of our story that you initiated.... And look, you're the one who hit on me the second time".

- "it's true!"

- "and we slept together?"

- "ummm I'll probably disappoint you... We obviously slept together ... But not that night..."
