"You're no fun," she tells him good-naturedly, but doesn't tease him further as he crosses the floor: she's been known to go a bit far, but she's not deliberately mean. And, yes, he's skinny and pale, but she's blocky and battered; so what? She still thinks he's cute.

She blows him a kiss when he looks back at her, anyway, and reaches for the plane manual on her desk as he turns to the door... then changes her mind and sneaks up on him, wrapping her arms around his waist and planting a kiss deliberately at the base of his neck before letting go again.

Her expression, as she drops back on the bed and reaches once more for her book, very clearly says so there.
