Olivia and Max know each other from when he thought she was involved in nefarious activity. Although they cleared the air in which she was proven innocent and they were halfway in love with one another, he grew ugly so he became a recluse. As Max investigates in an increasingly dangerous situation in an effort to prove his brother's innocence and to find him, Olivia assists him. This second time they fall fully in love.
