*On the plane after winning season 18 of Dancing with the Stars.*
"It's really cold up here." said Meryl as she rubs her hands up and down her arms. "Well, maybe if you'd sit down and get under the fifteen blankets you brought you wouldn't be cold." Replied Mark in a smart-ass voice. "Mark, do not make me come over there," Maks said. "Come over here Meryl and sit down." Said Maks as he moved to make room for her. " I really can't, flying makes me nervous." She said as she continues walking up and down the aisle. Maks sighs as he gets up and goes over to her. "Okay, I know you better than that, what's really going on?" Said Maks softly. " I don't know Maks,"
whispered Meryl "but will you hug me?" Looking down at her he softly wraps his arms around her. "Better?" he asks. She nods softly and leans closer to him. "Come on, let's go sit down, maybe your just tired, huh?" Maks whispered sweetly to her. "Yeah maybe" she says. They walk over to where Maks was sitting and sit down. "Thanks Maks, you're always there for me." Giggles come from all around the plane " What?" asks Maks. "Nothing, nothing." said Amy as she continues to giggle. "Whatever" said Maks as he looks down at Meryl who as since fallen asleep. Soon everyone but Maks has fallen asleep and he continues to watch Meryl sleep. Soon after Meryl wakes up and looks at Maks who is still watching her, she laughs softly "What?" whispers Maks. "Why are you looking at me like that Maks?" asks Meryl softly. "Nothing, just.........why wouldn't I look at someone so beautiful?" Meryl looks back at him in almost astonishment at his comment. Maks smiles and kisses her forehead and pulls her back into his arms. "Maks? Do you really mean that?" Meryl whispers while looking up at him . "Yeah, I do. Who couldn't see how beautiful you are?" Maks says sweetly. "You cold, you have goosebumps on your arms?" Maks asks. "A little, but I'll be fine." Replies Meryl. "No, here." He covers her in a blanket and pulls her into his lap. "Better?" asks Maks. "Yeah, you're really warm." She says as she buries her face in his neck. "You are like ridiculously cold." As he starts rubbing his hands up and down her arms and legs. Soon the both fall asleep and when they wake up they are in New York City with curious eyes on them.
