[He sounds a little flippant, if only through years of experience of pretending not to care as much as he does, but he looks genuinely concerned about this.]

You know what, I'm going to fix that. We're going to go somewhere right now, the two of us. Wherever you want to go. Sound good?

[ His response flusters her a little. ]

Well, certainly someone must have noticed after a time, I have friends here. I--

... Right now? Wait, where are we going?
