She slides over a little, taking advantage of the freed-up space on the couch to stretch out on her back. Her turn, now, to lie there like something out of a painting--and it's mostly thrilling, knowing why he's there, moving down the couch. Her stomach feels a little tight, but she does her best to think past it; she's pretty sure it's just anticipation, knowing all his attention's moving back to her.
"I'm comfortable," she tells him, because she pretty much is--and it feels like it needs to be said, if only so he doesn't have to ask. Everything Luke's done this afternoon has been a reason for her to trust him, and she wants him to know it.
