On a return trip to Gray Lassie, while on duty, she encountered Max Tomson returning from a symposium. Max was working on a novel of his own, that Heather provided a quick critique on. The two continued to see one another after the flight and Max invited Heather as his date to the wedding of Karen Andinus and Gareth Flect, much to the dismay of both Christie Holt and Hope Calers, who each believed herself to be Max's date.

Behind-the-scenes:
Heather was introduced into the Cubes semimonthly comic with the intention of providing a character who would understand Max Tomson's writing endeavours. To date this particular story thread remains undeveloped.
