Kagome freezes, and his hand stills as well.
For a moment, neither says anything. Neither moves. She can feel her blood rush in her ears, and her heart pounds against her ribs.
If he called her on it now, she wouldn't be able to deny it.
They don't say nor do anything for the space of a minute, and she's about to decay into something radioactive and unstable when he speaks.
"Are you able to turn the pages?"
She's confused but nods. "Yes."
There's another minute where neither speaks, and then his fingers slide slowly through hers.
Kagome can't breathe.
