Zoe looked like she was going to lose it because at first she thought he was making fun of her but then she frowned and her features softened. He was actually asking. What the... what kind of life did he have that he was deprived of love?

She was calmer as she said softly, "I care about you.. I like having you in my life. Even when you drive me crazy." she searched his eyes, seeing if the guy she had feelings for was in them somewhere because at times it felt like he was a different person, "..and sometimes.. sometimes I feel like you care about me too." but at this point she wondered if it was just her imagination.
