[He gets a grateful smile - for both the towel and calling the food in. While he's off doing that she tries to deal with her hair and settles for putting it in a rather damp braid. It's as she's drying off that it occurs to her she might have been a little too pushy or blunt - she probably could have handled that better, right?
That, or she's just uselessly nervous because he asked her out before she could go ahead and do it.
No matter the case she has to believe he'd tell her or give some egregious sign of his upset, there's no use winding herself up into a panic. So when she leaves the bathroom (with the towel wrapped around herself, because her clothes are drying and she doesn't want to get too cold) she looks a little more relaxed than she actually feels but drops herself next to him on the couch anyway. If he lets her she leans against him - his arm or side, she won't try to push him into holding her or anything.]
So, what's with the name? Or were your parents amazing enough to really name you 'Boxer'?
