Edward quickly sprang into a kneeling position on the bed. "I'm so sorry, my lord. Please forgive me. I don't know what happened to me or what even made me behave in such a way. I am not an unruly man, and never have I thought or done such a thing to a lady."
"It felt as if I was under the influence of drugs, which I wasn't, so it is no excuse. I implore you to forgive me, my lord. I'm sorry. I really apologize."
