I truly recognize that I am weak.

From now on, you can call me Helen.\" As she finished the sentence, she extended her closed fist toward Beatrice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beatrice looked at the fist, and then looked her directly in the eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She also extended her closed fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, both fists met in a bump, marking a sort of silent complicity between hero and demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryan was stunned watching the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In all of his simulations of the things that could happen when meeting his companions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This result would never have crossed his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now that he was seeing it, he could only think that it was the best possible outcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’There’s no doubt they are the best companions...’ Ryan now returned Mirian’s embrace. He held her tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he let her go and walked straight toward Helen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who, upon seeing him, couldn’t help but blush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tried to look in any other direction to avoid meeting Ryan’s piercing eyes, but...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took her by the shoulders and without warning, he kissed her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She closed her eyes and gripped the sleeves of his clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And she returned the kiss passionately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey!
