"Very well, Maria. You saved my life, so I shall accompany you till I can repay the favor." He sighed a little, grasping onto Maria's outstretched hand and pulling himself off the ground. "You'll have to convince the others, though. I'm not going to grovel."
"Don't worry! I'm sure I can manage." Maria's voice was chalk full of confidence.
Victor smirked "I'm sure you will." He agreed. "Just remember, though, I'll always be there to help you. Just say the word; I'll be there. You can count on me for anything" Victor stressed the point; he wanted to get out of her debt as soon as possible. She and he were too much alike for his comfort!
