The Gilded Six-Bits Repentance/Forgiveness Quotes

This is what Joe says to Missie when they're in bed together after she sleeps with Slemmons. She can't stop crying and thinks Joe will leave her because of her infidelity. Her crying shows that she feels bad, and Joe's ambiguous response to whether he loves her anymore or not ups the tension.

We see a glimmer of hope that Joe may forgive Missie when he asks for breakfast the next day. She, like us, doesn't expect him to stick around so when he asks for breakfast it seems like a good sign. 

It's pretty obvious that Missie is feeling pretty darn low. All of a sudden the couple has been separated into bad and good, faithful and unfaithful and she doesn't feel worthy enough to make Joe breakfast…but since he's "letting" her cook for him, she jumps at the chance. Anything to get back in good standing with her hubby.
