Lilliana did too. Instinctively she reached out to touch his face, showing remorse.

Despite his strong character, he understood the meaning of pride for a man and regretted his impulsive action.

She burst into tears. When her tears had passed, she began to reflect on recent events and realized that things didn't add up.
