[She (almost reluctantly) cuts the video. The time it takes Chloe to arrive is spent trying to get a hold of herself, to stop looking like a sappy idiot who's been crying, to breathe and try to process everything she's just heard.
Chloe doesn't hate her for everything. Seattle and the storm and the dome...
Chloe told her to stop hating herself.
Chloe's afraid that she's always going to be the second choice. The lowest priority. The one no one really cares about.
But that's wrong. And out of everything, Max is most certain about that point. She cares about Chloe... more than anything. And if being loved is what Chloe needs, well... Max can give that in spades.
When Chloe enters the house it's to a wordless, tight hug, Max almost desperately holding onto her, digging her face into her shoulder.

So much for getting a hold of her emotions!]
