Still kneeling on the floor, her husband also kneeling before her. Ariel tried to make sense of things.
"I am the one who kissed you. I should be the one apologising," The words replayed in her mind, but she was still struggling to process them.
Tristan was apologising because he thought that he had been the one to kiss her. Her poor husband was taking blame for something that he had not done. And that made Ariel's heart hurt just a little bit more.
"Tristan, I am the one who took advantage of you," Her correcting his misconception should have led to Tristan suddenly having an aha moment and realizing that he had been wrong, but instead her husband shook his head.
"No, Ariel, I am pretty certain that it was me," This time it was her turn to shake her head at him.
"No, it was me,"
"No, it was me,"
"No, it wasn't you,"
