"Thank you," he said softly, smiling at her. "You look beautiful when you blush," he told her, feeling a little braver to say what he thought and not sounding completly awkward.
He watched her with curious eyes when she pulled her hand away from his and stood up, not sure what she was going to do. His expression softened when he realized she was moving closer to him, and smiled at her. When she took his hand in hers, he entwined their fingers, his thumb caressing her skin gently. He smiled at her, letting her know he was one hundred perfect okay with it.
