[It's more than he's ever dared to actually hope for. If she doesn't love him how he loves her...well, it's fine. She still loves him in her own way. It's all anyone can rightly ask for, and more than anyone deserves. It's basically perfect. He's so relieved he almost forgets to breathe for a moment.]
Good. Okay.
[He reaches out, slowly. He understands now, the panic that comes of being surprised. Slowly, gently, the brush of a palm up from her hand to her arm to her shoulder, and steps in, leaving the other hand grasped in hers. A hug, nearly. In his heart it's bigger and tighter and passionate. But in reality, it's gentle and loose and designed not to upset her. She's delicate, maybe, but strong too. The most beautiful thing he's ever seen. The only person he's ever felt so strongly for. For Nill, he can handle whatever it takes.]
