She squeezes him gently and loosens her hold enough so he can make himself comfortable on the bed. "I'll stay," she replies and leans a little away, hand still playing with his hair. "Do you...?" Want me to hold you? That's what she wants to say, but it feels weird and she wonders just where the line needs to be drawn right now.
