'sneaked' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'some affection in shawl a light touch' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates taking the first letters.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'shawl' becomes 'stole' (I've seen this in another clue).
'a light touch' becomes 'kiss' (kiss can mean to brush against lightly).
The first letter of 'affection' is 'a'.
'stole'+'kiss'='stolekiss'
'a' put inside 'stolekiss' is 'STOLE A KISS'.
