The other funny thing about the AU is just how sappy of a love story me and David had before he met Max and got dragged into all that trouble??

He was a runaway who'd made his way to Santa Carla and couldn't seem to keep himself out of trouble. When I found him he was hurt pretty badly and hiding from some goons he tried to cheat out of some money in a card game or something so I brought him home and nursed him back to health. I think my family must have owned a shop in town and gave Max supplies for his hotel now and again ot something, but we had a nice big house in the countryside and a few acres of land and some horses and such! And needless to say David was pretty smitten, especially being taken care of and given so much tender affection. So when he was all healed up he offered to make up for the trouble by helping take care of the horses and hauling stuff to and from the store and such, and thats how he worms his way into our house. But it's all to stay close to me, really. When he was young and hopeful he was such a hopeless romantic, and he was so mushy?? He fancied himself a poet and tried to impress me with his poetry and brought me flowers and smiled that rugged smile at me. Of course I loved him too.

We'd read together under the shade of a tree during his downtime, sometimes he'd fall asleep and I'd stroke his hair or tickle his nose with a blade of grass. Or when he was distracted by something I'd sneak up behind him and scare him before throwing my arms around him, and we'd dance under moonlight. He honestly had never been so happy! His father left him and his mother didn't want him, so he thought he'd be able to be a part of this family.

He wanted to marry me, but without a penny to his name he couldn't buy a ring, let alone start a life. He needed a job that would give him money and not just room and board, and that's when Max comes into the picture.
