Delita's heart trembled at her touch. Could it be? Could she really have feelings for him beyond simple friendship. His breath was caught, but he found the courage to raise his hand to surround her waist.
Somehow, this felt entirely different than any previous embrace they had engaged upon. Tonight, he was not consoling or being consoled. Rather he was simply touching a woman for the sake of touching her.
Knowing that both of them were having trouble conveying any semblance of speech, he swallowed hard before answering her question in almost a whisper against her thumb.
"I... do too."
At that, he held his breath afraid that he had misconstrued her actions and would need to pack his belongings and hastily vacate the land he had come to call home. The wait was agonizing to him, yet he held fast determined to see this through.
