He's certain that whatever she intends to say likely is not some variation on 'go away', considering...well, considering that she's holding his hand even as his brain is trying to fill the silence with any number of other ideas. Half of them are dismissed as improbable, because they directly relate to things she's probably not aware of (Poe moving in with him, Dr. Rousseau and her "revelations", Caroline in a coma), another quarter dismissed as unlikely due to disconnect to the current reality, and then?

He tosses the entire idea out. Cassian has never been good at predicting the future in specifics when it comes to Jyn, or mindreading in general. And he's obsessing, it's probably not a good look.

Fortunately Jyn saves him from finding another thing to obsess about in the silence, pulling him aside as he raises his eyebrows. Her smiles are so small, he thinks, and wonders if it is a blessing or a curse to not have been given the memories of a fake, happy life here.

"Oh." Okay, terrible answer. Start again. Ignore the fact that your ears are on fire, it feels like. "I'm glad the feeling is mutual." Obviously. He squeezes her hand and brings it up to his lip to kiss the back of it.

"Does this mean I get to kiss you in front of other people?" He can even promise not to be ridiculous about it.
