Rule Question.

When you are playing OTB and the following occurs:
White makes a move and offers a draw, black does not accept or decline but starts to think ( (s)he is entitled to do so). But then before black gives an answer or moves (s)he runs out of time. Is it then officially a draw or did white win?

white wins because black didn't accept the draw yet
