Give him time to get used to the idea and he'll get less tentative about it; right now it's overwhelming enough to let her use her judgment, the last thing he wants is to spoil the moment holding too tight. She's more than distracting enough. If he's too quiet, chalk it up to shock and the fact that they are kind of doing this where anyone could walk up and see. (To her credit, he might not notice.)
Once he catches his breath after he'll reach down to offer her a hand up. Round two won't take much persuasion, though they'll have to finish the bottom half of this inning, first. (Yes, baseball again.) Daryl doesn't like to owe anyone anything; and though that's not what this is about, though it's not a transaction, he's all too eager to make it up to her.
But maybe... not here.
"Can you wait til we get home?" he asks, his voice low and rough and full of promise, and there's a good chance he will never, ever scrape himself up to tell her he loves her but maybe if he talks like this enough she'll hear it, anyway. She ought to.
i know that feel |D
