And he does. He does love her, though it's a confusing and conflicted sort of love. It's one-half the love of a friend, one-half something else. Maybe a few thirds confusion. But still. At bottom it's one simple fact, no matter the pieces that make up the whole. He loves Caroline. What form that takes in the end remains to be seen.
"I feel like I've heard the word." He can't say where, what context, or what it was describing. But he's heard it.
Poe gives her hand a little squeeze, reassurance that he's there and steady and not running for the jungle. Metaphorically speaking. "Humans aren't the be-all end-all of anything, y'know. Just gonna put that on the table."
