Josephine knew that Raoul was holding back his pain for her sake, as she would have been whining and probably crying if the roles were reversed... Then again, she would try to be strong too. She would not want him to worry about her. A smile returned to her lips at his soft 'I love you' and she whispered one of her own in response. She tried to be quick and careful with her stitching, to save Raoul the agony of this going on for too long. After what seemed to be forever, with a few whimpers and whines shed, Josephine finally finished, putting aside the the needle. "The worst is over. I am sorry that I have caused you such agony, you do not deserve it."
