[Zvei reaches out for her - for her hand, if she's trying to leave. For her arm, if she's already gotten up. For a way to keep her here - or if she hasn't even tried to leave, to touch the side of her face, because more than anything, he wants to keep her close, to let her know she hasn't made a mistake despite his immensely delayed reaction.
For once, his touch is remarkably gentle - desperate, needy, but not demanding. A question in and of itself, for he doesn't want to take any more from her than he already has.]
