[ A turning point of sorts to have Neve turn into the touch and not move away or try to turn the subject on him in some way. Early on, he picked up on the hands off vibe but he never really took it to heart, especially not when it seemed like a show. Now, he knew it had been. A kind of self preservation for some reason or another.
He just wondered why. Continuing to stroke his thumb against Neve's cheek, his own breath hitched and he didn't feel as tired anymore. ]
I'll always be here for you. Okay? I don't - I care about you.
