Like love

Ella - I think I know why you love me so much.
Me - Why?
Ella - Because I'm so nice to you and to other people. And because I say sorry when I hurt you. And...
Me - That's why I like you. But you know what?
Ella - What?
Me - If you were absolutely horrible to me and everyone else, I'd still love you. But I wouldn't like you very much.
Ella - Oh. But I think I know when you started loving me so much.
Me - When?
Ella - When you knew how much you liked me!
