"There was never another option," she replies, lightly, but she means it with everything she has. Jesus has earned that from her: he calls, she answers, especially here where they're alone together. If she had to do something... ill advised, they'd figure it out after she had him safely with her again.

But this would be so much easier if she can find a way to come at it that she can live with and negotiate from. "I have a month to pay you back, or you can ask a favor from me equivalent to the balance owed. This is my deal, not Jesus's, he's not on the table - not even if he offers. Just me."
