Victor

Victor
Your fine
blushes and looks down, fidgeting with his fingers No, I don't think I'm fine. I mean, I'm just so afraid that...
Victor
Afraid of what, love?
takes a deep breath, speaking with a hint of nervousness I'm afraid that I might take you for granted, Victor.
Victor
Take me for granted? If anything, you’re over thinking things
