Taking her hands does nothing for the warmth in her face but it's fine, she's got plausible deniability right now. And the wave of relief is big enough to counteract it, just a little.
(Doesn't solve the ache completely. Doesn't solve the problem of how she doesn't want it to go back to the new normal, she wants it to go back to the old normal, she wants to be able to screw around and it not just be a one time thing, she wants him—)
But for now it's got to be enough. "Yeah, no, I get it, I mean I wasn't exactly chasing you down, either, it's just— been a whole thing, I guess. Sorry."
