shocked by her response, stammers "Y-you... you do? You... you feel the same way?"

pulls out his phone, typing rapidly "Alright, let's see... I want this date to be perfect for you. How about a romantic candlelit dinner at that new restaurant downtown? And then we can take a moonlit walk along the beach."
