[The most tactful way he could think of admitting it was a bit of an impulse. Should he continue to be honest and explain what happened...? But he's not sure if he can really explain it without it sounding worse than whatever she's thinking. Still, if it's his actions that caused her confusion, then it's only right to explain it.]
After everything you went through, I felt I should show you my appreciation somehow...but that was not the best way. No, I'm not even sure what I was thinking.

There were only a few things he was certain of at the time: that he felt he owed her for what she went through; she deserved something for her efforts; that they were on a pretend "date."

He wouldn't normally do so, but it also doesn't hold any meaning. So in his mind it didn't seem that...strange, but maybe it was.
Because in the end, at the very heart of it, there had just been a rather strange yet strong desire of wanting to do so. That is to say, it wasn't a thought that he was against. Maybe he should wonder why that is, but for now he doesn't.]
