that was something different.]

Still. I think that was-- something it helped to hear, at the time.
[after everything that happened there, especially. for him to keep her close, too-- it helped.]
It was the right gesture to make.

[maybe slightly lighter in tone:]
It was nice to see you taking a little more initiative, too.

You do realize I'm not saying I disliked it? I thought that was a little obvious.

Let me put it this way. I think that's probably the most unintentionally romantic thing someone's done to me.
[she knows it was unintentional, but-- still. it was a meaningful gesture that he made.]

Well, no. He would've lunged at anyone in the same predicament, but he definitely wouldn't have said the things he did, and he perhaps might've done it a little differently. Therefore, it is not the same.
