. . . - 'how are you feeling about your big day?'
Over his mother's shoulder, William sees the approaching waitress. 'Fine, but can we talk about Uncle Rob-'
She closes her eyes and holds both palms towards him. 'Before we get into that, I've got some big news.'
(From A Terrible Kindness by Jo Browning Wroe, Part II Cambridge Choir, chapter 28)
Is "hold one's palms towards someone" a natural phrase or idiom? What does it mean there?
