[Chloe has a very strong fight or flight instinct. Always has, always will. This is very much triggering that- and usually she's a fighter. But right now she really just wants to get up and leave. Go back to the hotel room and just. Not for a while.
She half listens to what Anna is saying, fidgeting where she sits, waiting for an opportunity to go. But then she registers 'I like you, too' and suddenly she's actually listening again, looking at Anna incredulously.
Chloe wants to believe that. To let it wash away all the weird and awkward embarrassment she's feeling over this. But she's not that naive. She doesn't believe fairy tales happen just like that.]
Mm. But are you just saying that though? Don't get caught up in the moment, Anna. If you say that, I want you to fucking mean it. Otherwise... don't bother.
[It's not said in a mean tone, just... a warning. The implication that this has happened before and that she isn't going to let it happen again- or, that she's trying not to.]
