"Don't turn away now.. please.." he had already started to beg, and then he remembered what she had said about how pride was a fault rather than a virtue on the day he had asked her to move in. So in an effort to show humility, he fell to his knees in front of her, his hands holding her hips since he was still even tall when he was on his knees. Burying his face into her stomach he began to sob.
