She can feel him moving closer as she processes his words, tries to internalize his acceptance and rationalization of her decision. His permission for it to be okay, because she hadn't done anything wrong in making that choice. She doesn't say anything as she moves over to give him room, not hesitating in the slightest or feeling at all strange about this closeness; it's just how they are, how Sam is with the people he cares about, and she appreciates that anyone would want to be close to her with what she is. ]
