The sound of the door slamming shut made Ryan jump just as much as it had Acacia, but that didn't stop him from noticing her reaction to his compliment. [i]She blushed! And she thanked me! Did she wink at me, too? I think she winked at me. No, shut up that was just your imagination. Calm the hell down Ryan.[/i] Acacia moving from her position and heading to the kitchen pulled him out of his head and back into the real world. [color=B22222]"Yes, it feels much better now. Thank you again,"[/color] he replied. As she began to wash the shirt that he been previously been using as a bandage, he realized the big mistake he had made. [color=B22222]"I'm really sorry for the shirt. If there's any way I can make it up to you, just say the word,"[/color] he said. Now that he thought of it, how many favors does he owe her now?

[i]Let's see, I broke into her house, so I owed her for that. Then I saved her from the trap so that'd make us even. Then she made me food, so we're back to me owing her one. Next I ruined her shirt, so that makes two. Two favors I owe her. Wait, she offered me to spend the night, that's another one.[/i] [color=B22222]"Way I see it, I owe you three favors, if you're the kind of person to keep track of those. Whatever you want, I'll do it. So just say the word,"[/color] he said. His traveled back to Acacia's still bloody leg and remembered his offer from earlier. [color=B22222]"Maybe I could help you with you leg, now that you've finished with my injury,"[/color] he said.
