Looking at Heather, you can't bear the thought of being separated from her for the next 24 hours. You want to be with her every waking moment of your life. You need to be to survive.
Wow, Default. Wow. Just this morning you did everything you could to prevent human interaction, and now you're doing everything you can to have it with Heather. It's like your character has developed over the course of your journey or something. Sounds like a novel idea; maybe we should pitch it to Hollywood.
"Hey, uhh...Heather?" you ask, your voice shaky.
"Yeah?"
"Do you....ummm...erhm...wanna...go out with me tonight?" From me onwards, you squeal like a cat, but at least you managed to say it.
Heather smiles at you. "I was hoping you'd ask. I've got nothing to do tonight, and I'd much rather have fun with you than sit around bored."
Was that a compliment?
"So, what do you wanna do?"
>> Go to the movies?
