He finds himself reaching out for her, reaching for the hand she has curled into the blanket. He wants to touch her; he wants to hold her, if she'll let him. Honestly, he doesn't want to think about the story right now; he just wants to think about her. ]
Just probably? Are you sure you don't want to lie down again for a little while? [ He sees the haunted look in her eyes, and he hates that it's there at all. How can he help get rid of it? ]
Maybe we should stay here a little longer. [ He figures she'll see right through that and figure out that he doesn't actually know where they should go next. There's several options on the table and he can't decide which one makes the most sense. ]
