息がかかる

そこで一拍おいてから、息がかかるくらいの距離にまで顔を近づけてくる。

Hi. What does the かかる mean in this case? I understand the general meaning of the sentence though.
Thank you.

What's your idea?

What's your idea?

Is the meaning something like "hit lightly", as in 水しぶきが私の顔にかかった。?

 

[Toritoribe]

Yes, you got it right.

Thank you for the confirmation.
