She was not delusional. I knew they weren't in a relationship yet and that was fine for now. She was old enough to know that such things take time.
I completely understood it.
He also knew that they had their fights and their quirks. Things that, at times, would drive them crazy to the point of insanity. She never understood his tardiness (except when he visited with his deceased friends, yes, she knew), and he never seemed to understand her to need to be meticulous. In a way, they were exact opposites that given other circumstances (like they weren't assigned to the same team so many years ago), they would never have given the time of day.
But these were the circumstances now. And she knew somehow they would make it work.
Oh, you just want him to come home now so you can have wild s*x
