He told her that he didn't really hit her! She just misunderstood. "That's just the way we are where I come from..."
"But, but, but ..." she confusedly countered.
Then he repeated "I didn't really hit you" "Besides, it won't happen again."
He then said, "people say that YOU have anger issues. I mean, some of your recent text messages drip with anger ..."
"Really?!" she replied.
He continued, "I'm so glad that you're here, and that we're together..."
She smiled and said, "me too..." But later she questioned why she said that. What was she hoping for? She is trying so hard to believe him. She said the right words. She thought the right ideas. But ...
Will she stay and give it yet another chance? Will she walk away and find some peace?
What is she going to tell her family? What is she going to do about the kids?
She decided, "likely he will move on soon, though not as soon as desired..."
