Parker doesn't have that much experience in navigating emotion, her own or anyone else's. But there are some things she knows for sure. He's not trying to hurt her. He's not being creepy and ignoring her like the other one. She doesn't want to be in this fog a second longer than she has to be.

She steels herself, jaw working for a second before she sets it and nods, stepping closer. A second of hesitation, and then she grabs his outstretched hand, as much to see what he'll do as for any other reason.
Well, that and maybe that she really, really wants to be holding Eliot's hand right now. ]
