On His Knees
"Then get on your knees and ask for Micah's forgiveness," Walter commanded.
Ruby stared at him, stunned, but the sharp pain in her scalp gave her little choice. "Fine. I'll kneel."
She sank to her knees, begging Micah over and over. "Micah, I was wrong. Please forgive me. I'll never do it again."
Every word was raw with pain.
I watched, cold and unmoved. It brought me no satisfaction. Even if she begged until her voice gave out, it wouldn't fix what she'd done to Micah.
