He asks that you take him back to ♥s if you have 3 of them. You do. He is asking you to bid game if you have 17 points. You do. So you bid 4♥. With your 3-3-3-4 distribution you might have been tempted to bid 3NT instead of 4♥. It's a good thing you didn't, they would have killed you in ♠s.  Deal 14
