Steve stepped up to her, and held out his hand. Linda took it, and he helped her to her feet, before sliding his arm around her waist, and gently guid...ng her towards her bedroom (his being occupied at the moment.)When they got there, Steve guided Linda to sit on the edge of the bed, and stood in front of her.
