With a slight, happy sigh, she leaned over and rested her head on his shoulder. It took a little wriggling before she was comfortable, and then she closed her eyes and radiated general contentment at him.
Derek froze, feeling his muscles tense immediately. He did not sign up for snuggling and the only people he ever really let get this close to him was his family. He shifted away from her, tilting his head. “Ahh, I can get a blanket if you would like.”
She blinked up at him, confused at his pulling away. It was far more than simple physical movement. After a brief pout, she flopped over to the arm of the couch instead, tucking herself up tightly so she didn’t touch him anymore.
