    “Mad” as in “angry”, I assume. So, the woman is angry at the guy. You don’t want to force them into a cuddle, if they need a bit of distance to cool down first…

      She’s not necessarily angry at the guy, just angry in general. She might prefer to be alone after something irritating or otherwise anger inducing happened, and he’s trying to add a little love to remind her that he’s there, then leave so he can give her space to be angry.

        Fair enough. I assumed, she’s angry at the guy, because then it’s the usual reversal of expectations that she wants more cuddles…

      Yeah but he gave her a hug. You can’t just give a drive by hug when someone is angry. Either you go for the silent apologetic cuddles or you stay away.
