I’m sorry but it seems a little too dramatic to say he assaulted her? Her response to him getting that close to her was “it tickles” then she went on to stay close to him. He is keeping her close but we as readers don’t know why yet, it’s definitely something involving his dad, he probably wanted to hurt her in the past and he is still trying to protect her from him. Well that’s my theory but regardless if she didn’t want to be near him then why does she keep going back to that bunker, their relationship isn’t quite clear yet but to say it’s assault wouldn’t be accurate
