As soon as he looked up, he saw a rare display of emotion on Corinne's usually resilient visage. He felt his heart ache and immediately stood up to wipe her tears away. "Why are you crying? I'm fine. It doesn't hurt. Stop crying, okay? You wouldn't want your mother to disapprove of me as her son-in-law if she sees that I've made you cry."

Corinne failed to control her tears and said in between sobs, "How can you say that it doesn't hurt? An injury like this is going to be painful..."
