She takes his hand, and he's --- for lack of a better word --- dumbstruck.

His instincts tell him to snatch his hand away, but she knows that. Of course she knows.

Garrett tugs against the grasp, as he was not immediately aware of who had grabbed his hand. When the grip remains firm, head turns sharply and gaze is thrown to the side, where it settles on Feyna. Pursed lips relax, and blue eyes immediately soften --- however subtle. Small and insignificant changes.

( Surely she knows otherwise. )

Again, his head turns. Looking left. Looking right. Scanning. Once satisfied that they were alone, his fingers slowly spread; allowing her fingers to slip through the spaces between his own. Affections were still somewhat new to him. He had never allowed himself the luxury, and he wasn't an easy person to be with. A choice, were he asked. Don't let anyone in.

His hand squeezes hers, and he can't help but to wonder.

brushing loose hair behind your lover's ear.

the gentle tenderness and care... deep yearning from the barest brush of skin... wanting to ask for more but being unsure... you spend a lot of time worrying about whether or not you will find love, and sometimes aren’t even sure if romance is something worth pursuing. you have spent so long being on your own, you simply struggle to picture yourself beside another person. perhaps you even secretly worry that you are too much for another person. it is important to not think of yourself as someone unlovable, as you are just as deserving of romance as any. however, it is also important to not place your value on relationships; you are a complete person on your own.
