He takes her hand, eyes still on her face. He doesn’t pull her up though, just stays strong so she can use it to lever herself up at her own pace. He also doesn’t step back so that when she’s standing, she’ll be a whole lot closer to him than is strictly acceptable between people who are just supposed to be friends.
He wonders if the hesitation meant she’d really rather go to sleep but...well, he’s not stupid. That blush gave it away that there’s something going on in that unfathomable female brain of hers and maybe, just maybe, it’s similar to what’s been in his own mind for a while now.
But even if it’s just that she’s embarrassed being alone with him, he has to know. One way or the other.
