I'm embarrassed that I can't figure this out, but our hot water handle in our bathroom popped off, and I can't figure out how to reattach it, nor can I remember the faucet model so I can Google it. It doesn't look like there's a screw missing, and maybe the secret lies beneath the red, hot indicator? A few pictures are below (my apologies for the messy sink). Any help would be much appreciated!

You are all gentlepersons and scholars. That did it, and my wife can--for at least one more day--remain unaware of the fact that she lives with a moron.

Proof that there's a woman somewhere out there for every man.

Under that red spot will be a (most likely allen headed) set screw.

So I just pry that sucker off? It seems squishy, so I was hesitant to mess too much with it.

It might even pop out with tweezers. Might need a tiny slot head mechanical screw driver to pry it out. It may be rubber and fit back in afterwards. Underneath may need an allen key or the same slotted screw driver. Watch over tightening to prevent the screw from scoring what it grasps onto, if the handle is difficult to turn you may need to buy a new cartridge for your faucet.

Yep, just pry it out with your paper clip
