Greed felt her elbow pressing into his stomach as though they were in slow motion. He knew (and somewhat hated) what had to happen then, but there was no avoiding it and he took the hit rather than shield up and risk injuring the woman. As a result his voice faultered a bit on the last few lines, causing some of the more alert patrons a round of chuckles which he ignored.

"I said I love you and that's forever
And this I promise from the heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are"
