[6PM] Dani was finished with everything and Lorianne loved the work she had done. While Lorianne was in the back changing out of her dress into her regular clothes, Dani cleaned up her materials. She took the time to fix up every guy's tuxedo and finished. Justin back hugged Dani and Max was surprised by their actions. Then they looked over to Max and stopped with whatever they were doing. Max and Justin went to the dressing room to change out of their tuxedos. While dressing out of their tuxedos, Max suddenly asked Justin..

Max (*asks) : so you and Dani, huh ?
Justin : yeah.
Max (*asks) : since when ?
Justin : during the time she was in Paris.
Justin : We started to talk and then dated through long distance.
Max : she contacted you instead of me. We were going out at that time.
Justin : and then you moved on Max.
Max (*asks) : when were you going to tell me ?
Justin : possibly after you're married.
Max (*asks) : why wait that long ?
Justin : because i didn't want you to get hurt.
Justin : I care about our friendship too much to not tell you.
Max : i loved Dani ever since the day we known each other.
Max : and now that she’s back, i'm starting to get that feeling again.
Justin : i'm sorry Max. i'm going to keep apologizing to you until you give me your forgiveness.

Both of them came out of the dressing room talking to each other…

Max (*asks) : do you love her ?
Justin (*asks) : what ?
Max (*asks) : do you love Dani ?
Justin : i would love her but i can’t.
Max (*asks) : why not ?
Justin : because of you Max. everything is because of you.
Justin : ever since the day she left, she hasn't stopped talking about you.
Justin : she cares too much for you and she's not going to stop loving you.
Justin : You know that Max.
Justin : and i won't ever propose to her because she doesn't love me, she loves you.
Justin : it won't ever change.
Justin : you need to talk to her, she needs you.

Justin walked out to the front with Max following him from behind. Dani and Lorianne was ready to go. The four of them stood there to talk before leaving.

Lorianne (*says to Dani & Justin) : we’re about to head out to dinner.
Lorianne : You guys should come with us.
Justin : we were just heading out to dinner.
Lorianne : please join us. It's a thank you from us.
Dani : okay, let's go.

For the rest of the night, Dani, Justin, Lorianne, Max, and Freddie (who once came later) to the restaurant having dinner together. They talked amongst themselves and got to know each other.

Lorianne (*asks Dani) : so how did you and Justin meet ?
Dani : we knew each other way before i went to Paris.
Dani : i lived here all of my life and we met through work at the companies.
Lorianne (*asks) : and you began dating from there ?
Justin : we dated while Dani was in Paris.
Lorianne : wow, long distance relationship.
Justin : yeah, we made it work.
Max (*pretends to ask) : it must’ve been hard for the both of you.
Max (*tells Justin) : you should have introduced me to your girlfriend then.
Justin : we were apart from each other so i couldn't introduce her to you then.
Dani (*says to everyone) : please excuse me for a moment.
Justin (*tells Dani) : i’ll go with you.

Dani and Justin walked to the lobby of the restaurant to talk for a little while before going back inside.

Dani (*asks) : you knew Max was going to do this, were you ?
Justin : i had a feeling he would after i told him about us dating while you were in Paris.
Dani : i knew this was how he was going to act.
Dani : he’s never ever going to let it go.
Justin : i know and you have to hang in there. It’ll be over once he and Lorianne gets married.

Max was standing on the side listening to their conversation and came out from the blue clapping his hands.

Max : you guys make a perfect team. Such a team to ruin my life.
Dani : i didn't ruin your life Max. i wanted everything to work between us but……
Max : but you had to take that job in Paris and left me alone here without a call.
Max (*asks) : how do you think i would feel ? then and now ?
Justin (*say to Max) : it wasn’t Dani’s fault from the beginning, it was mine.
Justin : so you should blame me instead of her.
Dani : no Justin. This was my fault from the very start. I have to fix this now.
Max : there is nothing you two can fix !
Dani : i protected you from being with someone like me Max.
Dani : i wanted you to be happy in your own way and finding it whichever way it was possible.
Dani : i didn't talk to you after i landed in Paris because i want you to have space between us.
Dani : and look what we’ve became. You are happy with Lorianne, just leave it like that.
Dani : get married and be happy. That's all i want for you Max.
Dani : this wasn't suppose to happen tonight so i’ll take my leave now.
Dani : goodbye Max.

Dani walked out of the restaurant going home. Lorianne was hiding behind the walls hearing everything from them. She was surprised to hear that Dani was the person who left Max in the past. Then Max and Justin started to talk again.

Justin : i hope you're happy now. Dani is finally out of your life for good.
Justin : and you can't ever make it up to her again.
Justin : all of this was for you and you blamed her for something she didn't do.
Justin : she was right. She protected you until the very end.
Justin : if it wasn't for Dani, you wouldn't be here about to get married to Lorianne.
Justin : Just know that.

Justin walked out of the restaurant catching up to Dani going home together. Max realized that he had messed up completely between him and Dani. Lorianne came out from the walls walking towards Max trying to talk to him and get a better understanding.

Lorianne : Max.
Max (*looks up to see Lorianne & says) : Lorianne.
Max (*asks) : you heard all of that ?
Lorianne : everything.
Max : go ahead and ask me now if you want.
Lorianne (*asks) : Dani was the girl who left you when she went to Paris ?
Lorianne : and came back here ?
Max : right.
Lorianne (*asks) : and she's the same person who designed my wedding dress ?
Max : right again.
Lorianne (*asks) : will there be anymore feelings between you and Dani now ?
Max : of course not. We’re getting married this weekend Lori.
Max : don't worry about me. Everythings going to be fine.
Lorianne : okay.

Max hugged Lorianne on her side with her head leaning against his shoulder. They headed home after a long day of doing wedding stuff.
