It had been over a week since I started my training with Victor and he really took it seriously. He didn’t ease it on me, quite the contrary, actually. Continuously pushing my limits, body physical and mental. Matt had been away these past days. He went to California with his grandfather to The Commission’s meeting. I saw he was having a hard time leaving me alone, especially because of the impending danger that he so adamantly thought was lurking around every corner. That resulted in Max sleeping on the couch every night and hanging around with me every day. Everywhere I went, he was there. Even at Victor’s private little gym, he would always have a sweep through the place before letting me go in. Especially the locker room. It was fun having him around. At least I wasn’t alone. Matt c
