His gives a soft sound at that shiver. "So much for worrying about calling Lillian too," he murmurs softly. If there's any question of what he means the fact that two hands settle on Anita's hips, even if one moves a little slower and seems less capable, and lift her so he can slip out of her should answer that. It still earns a slight wince, to use it, which he tries to hide in her hair. But just the very fact that he can move it is an improvement.

He's only lifting her just enough to do that before curling her back against him. Mainly because he doesn't want to move just yet, but also because he wants to show he's not going anywhere.
