Anna held tight to his hand, though. If he was going to fall, she would, too. "You jump, I jump," and all that jazz, right? Wonder of all wonders, he didn't fall, though. Maybe he was getting slightly better with his coordination skills; or maybe his life just seemed so much more put together when Anna was around the way her life seemed so much more put together when he was around.
