[ Because-- that a smiling face is one that suits her best... Didn't she say something like that to him, once before? Again, clever of him to use that line.
Yes, she recalls it quite clearly. He's using her words against her, and they're more than enough on two counts: one, that it gently reminds her that her hypocrisy that she hasn't been following what she's been saying. And two, that her words have clearly effected him to think them prominent enough to use them....
She feels her cheeks color further. She might as well embrace this feeling of warmth and reassurance and acceptance, calling herself out on it as if it might dispel her fluster. She looks away, but her smile is both shy yet pleased. With an accepting sigh, she says, ] Now you're making me blush.
[ Why is she blushing anyway? Because she's happy? Or because who is making her happy? ] I have a lot to smile about, [ She speaks quietly, but not less honestly. ] when you're here.
[ She does draw away from the hug and him, however, because she's fine for now, comforted and reassured, bringing a hand up to her own cheek and feeling how warm they are for herself. ]
