He tries to push the embarrassment down as they crest the stairs and Gregor has to release his arm to slip through the bedroom door. ] Yes. Well. [ Awkward has apparently overtaken the embarrassment. Gregor retrieves his poetry notebook, nothing more than a plain wirebound one, but this one full-sized, and flips it open to the correct page.
