But he's going to even be worse because that's his arm coming around your waist in what appears to be a totally casual move on his part to acknowledge how you've attached yourself to his side like you belong there ( which you do, that is not up for discussion ) and the way he effortlessly drops a kiss into your hair with a smile as if acknowledging what you just said.
