I love that - you absolutely shouldn't have to bend down an inch to get to him.
If he is truly wanting you back, he should respond with a clear statement about OW - that leaves no room for translation, i.e: "I am not with her. I will never be with her again. I have removed her number from my phone, and blocked her number on my phone."
Also, as a typical male, I'd like to see exactly WHAT he plans to do to rectify the situation, but I would say that if he is where he says he is, he is probably at a complete loss as to what to do.
