She had tears in her eyes, I pleaded with he... to forgive me, told her I’d never do it again if she didn’t leave me. She didn’t say anything at first, she was too choked up, she just looked at me with tears rolling down her cheeks. Then she came at me and wrapped her arms around my neck and held me tight.
