La mano no me estaba reteniendo, sino que me asía muy suavemente.
The hand was not holding me at all but had a very gentle grip.
Así que no es que pudiese ir más allá o no, algo me estaba reteniendo y me correspondía a mí ir o detenerme allí, pero no volver.
So it wasn't that I could or could not have gone further, something was pulling on me and it was up to me to go on or stop there, but not go back.
