At that moment, he felt like his heart was broken and full of regret. She shouldn't have gotten drunk, but he was late. He felt helpless and sore.
He remembered that on the way back to the hotel, she cried out to find him while he held her in his arms and whispered into her ear again and again, "Isabel, I'm here."
Looking at him with her tearful eyes, she fell in his arms. She was like a lost child being taken home by an adult, asking him continuously where he had been and why he was so late.
He regretted why he had to get angry with her. He knew why she had turned to leave and knew he should have stopped her and not allowed her to leave.
Joseph stared at the woman lying in his arms and then lowered his head to kiss her gently.
He understood her worries completely...
