Youand Richard had just finished fighting over taxes. He did things to you that you were always used to by now, making you run to the bedroom in tears.

Right now, Richard is looking over you as you slept. His hand caressing your hair. Your tears dried on your cheeks as a red slap mark was on your right cheek. Bruises and wounds on your body due to his outrage and abuse.

He felt remorseful, guilt, and regret.
