She would think that. He might have wanted to tease her with the excess optimism when he first met her, but at this point he's quite taken by it. He finds so often, the most magical things about her are the things that aren't magic at all.

Does she need a little lift? Because he can help with that. His two hands support just above her hips and take most of the effort out of reaching up onto her toes. She's not so much shorter than him that he feels like he really needs to pull her up into the air or anything, just something to keep her calves from needing to strain to kiss him.

He stays in the kiss for a lengthy couple of moments. He has no shame letting his lips meet with her's were people might potentially see what he's up to. If anything, it's kind of nice to have a woman like Frea want to hang around with you at a party.
