9. The Final Choice!

Day 9


A party was scheduled for this day and it could be any type that Maxon chose. Deciding a dinner party sounded nice, that is what he chose. This would be the very last day of the choosing. Two lovely ladies, both of whom he felt equally close to, were left. Malica and Joleen.

Maxon enjoyed a catered dinner with them and then they all danced. It was a fun time for all. But eventually Maxon knew it was nearing that time when he'd have to choose. It was the hardest choice he'd ever have to make. Would he make the right one?

Time inevitably passed and it was time. Time to make known whom he had chosen.

Joleen, you could have been a great soul mate but there was something holding you back. You will be going home.

Maxon felt that she did not love him romantically and only cared for him as a good friend. Thus being the case, he declared his bride-to-be.

"Malica Garso, will you allow me to love you forever, to be your husband, to be your friend for all eternity and beyond?"

"Dearest Maxon, yes... a million times yes!"

Soon to be Mr. and Mrs. Maxon and Malica Pern!

Author's note: Maxon felt exactly the same way about both girls. Both were viewed as soulmates. Friendship and Romance bars were in the same place on both. So I had to go to the girls' relationship pages to see how they thought about him. Surprisingly, Joleen's romance bar for him was extremely low.  And she only viewed him as a sweetheart. Malica on the other hand viewed him as a soulmate too. They were meant to be. A surprise ending to be sure, but a very welcome one.
