"No, wait--" His hand instinctively reaches out for her as she scoots back.
He didn't mean for her to back off! He liked having her pressed against his arm... She looked so comfortable and relaxed, too. He lowers his hand, letting out a long breath of air in an attempt to regulate his racing pulse.
He had everything thought out before! He's read and watched enough content to know how love confessions are supposed to go! But all that is forgotten in the face of actually doing one himself.
It's difficult, but he keeps his gaze fixed on Rita. "Back then I said you're smart and quick-thinking, and I admired you for what you're trying to achieve. I said I liked you. It's still all true."
After their conversation on the moon, he stupidly told her that he didn't feel the same way as she was interpreting it. If he just leaves it as this, she's not going to know what he really means.
He barrels on. "What I mean is... even though I didn't mean it as a love confession then, I. Uh." There's nowhere to go except forward. "Mean it as one now."
