"We're gross, we better immediately stop it," she agrees as she presses the plate of pie into his hands and grins. It's not like she expects any different from Newt, like she's waiting for the day when he turns around and says he's actually been super unlucky in love, but it's still nice hearing him say stuff like this. Especially on a holiday and it's not like either of them are prone to being excessively emotional, but being in this atmosphere, a dinner with all these people who obviously like each other, it's like she kind of can't help it.
"Look, I was feeling sorta mushy because there's this friend of Derek's who clearly likes him and I'm pretty sure Derek likes him, too, but they're like, both totally in denial and I was just thinking how glad I am you never bothered beating around the metaphorical love bush." She knows exactly how that sounds and she's standing by it without question.
"As far as I can tell, more time with you is better." On a logical level, she understands that it isn't like that for everyone, that there are insecurities at play and worries of lost friendship, but she's just never been that type. She'd almost always rather leap before bothering to look and it's lucky for her Newt has been the same way.
