He wanted something lighthearted to watch with her, so after the dishes were clean, Grant had selected Mar'i's copy of My Fair Lady. The space between them on the couch had been small, but it was noticeable. Grant had anticipated that she would have been hesitant to be close to him after the talk, that she would have been nervous to touch him.
Once Eliza Doolittle began singing "Wouldn't It Be Loverly," Grant reached out to the Tamaranean, pulling her close, letting her shoulder rest against his side. Although they haven't talked about it, he can tell that physical contact and affection are very important to her. Is he still nervous? Of course. But he won't let that stop him from letting her know how much he cares for her as much as he is able.
The movie ends, and Grant rises from the sofa to gather his things, then moves to the door, holding Mar'i's hand, watching her face intently. "Can we do this again soon?"
