No-- no, you've got nothing to apologize for. [Jeez, Claude was right. Which is no surprise, he usually is.]

You didn't make anything awkward; I was the one nudging for it to happen to begin with, and then I was the one who... well, panicked and tried to run off, because, uh-- I-I still sometimes get weird about kissing handsome guys.

[His face is probably turning red again.] So, you didn't do anything wrong, I promise. It... was nice. I-- uh, I hope that's not weird to say.
