And as well when Laura was inside the cottage and Howie was outside the cottage (6). The point is it shows how they both care about each other and want to keep eachother safe.

If Howie already takes care of her when their stranger and just getting to know each other, imagine later on when they get to know eachother better. And maybe even become more
