Readily swept away by grand notions of romance, it's easy to think of two lovers being brought back together. It's certainly far, far better than many of the alternatives. And from what River has told her thus far, Chloe easily determines that she is very much deserving of such a second chance.
Not that others would be less deserving. Maybe it's those echoes of herself she can see that make Chloe especially moved.
Echoes that only keep coming. "I know how it feels. I mean, not exactly, since it's different for everyone but... I know what it's like to love someone that way." Chloe can tell herself these things are said just for the sake of shared experience but, somewhere deep down, there's a want to talk.
But she's used to squashing it down.
"Maybe there will be fabulous things on the island to discover together," she offers hopefully, smiling away. "I'm sure she would like to make things up to you. And if anyone needs any help in planning beautiful romantic surprises, I would gladly offer my services." It might come across as too casual considering the gravity of their discussion so far but it is earnest, at least.
