Seeing that he was not moving, Susan threw herself at him. She wrapped her arms around him and buried her head in his neck groggily.

Purring like a cat in its dream, she pleaded with him piteously, "Ian, I was wrong. D-Don't run away again, please? It was all my fault. I'll never back down again. Let's be together happily from now on, hmm?"
