She's a sheltered little witch who looks half-dead without the glamour, who's been so out of touch with the world she's almost no different to this man out of time. And while she still can't believe someone like him is truly interested in someone like her, she's sure as hell not pushing him away.
With her non-disfigured hand, she reaches across the space between them for his flesh hand — her left on his right — and squeezes his fingers gently. Her face feels hot from all the nice things he's said, but she's not looking away. She fears that if she does, this will all end, like it's just some spell and it'll be broken if she gets distracted. She doesn't want this to end. ]
