Relief that she liked it warred with concern that she wanted him to help her put it on. That she wanted him to help her put it on her bodice, which would mean being pretty careful about where his hands and fingers brushed.
Still, he'd defused bombs, so surely he could help a woman put a pin on her dress, even this woman.
He leaned forward and took the pin from her, then placed it high on her bodice. He didn't want to prick her with the securing pin or seem like his hands were lingering too long, so he had to be careful, but he had it placed quickly enough. This close to her, he could smell her perfume. It wasn't quite the same perfume she'd worn in New York, but it had the same kind of fragrance.
