Ben's flight took off a few hours ago.

Max didn't get any sleep after that.

When he groggily slid off the couch at 5:30 to get ready for work, his bedroom door led to Milliways instead.

Now, Juliet's not the only one crashing by the fireplace. While Max is kind of annoyed that he's spending time here while time back home is frozen (which means he'll be away from Ben for even longer), he's very thankful that he doesn't have to go in to work just yet.

So there he is, sprawled sideways on a loveseat, staring blearily up at the ceiling.

Unexpected as that was, Max's expression remains stony and unconvinced.

"Yeah, well, you're not the only one who - "

Well.

Max can't really try to draw a comparison between that and what Ben did to him, but...

" - he's - he's not like that."

"Ben is very good about lying about who he is."

"If you can say that with a straight face, you really don't know him."

"I don't know him? I sleep with him every night and have been for the last three months! We work together now, and he told me all about Alex and that island and that Widmore guy and you're telling me that I don't know him?"

"You've known him for three months. I've known him for three years."

"Yeah, and I'm sure you made a habit of hanging around him every chance you got."

"Yes, Max, because when someone is possessive of you that someone spends every moment he can following you around!"

"So is this like, one of your vices? That you can't let someone else be happy because something bad happened to you?"

"Because he did something bad to me. And to a lot of other people. He's killed other people. Innocent people. He's lied to them, manipulated them, cheated them. I've seen it. I know it. You don't."

"Shut up! You don't know him like I do! No one's ever treated me as well as he does, and I know he loves me, and I think it's about damn time someone loved him back."

Without saying another word, Juliet stands up and walks far, far away from Max.

Good.

Max wasn't about to relinquish his spot, anyway.
