If you are contrite, you are sorry and apologetic because you have done something wrong.
Example : For the first and only time in our relationship, Liza was contrite.

Without my dictionary, I say it means repentant.
Repentant means to be sorry for what you did.
Check it out & see if I'm not correct.
