She's got him there. He doesn't know what to make of her sometimes; he knows he lets his own emotions play out on his face easily, especially when he's upset, but she doesn't. Not easily, anyway. She's a mystery on an island that's already damn mysterious on its own.
The truth is that he didn't want to be alone, he couldn't be, and despite everything, he enjoys being around her more than anyone else. He asked her to stay, so he owes her a genuine answer.
Going quiet again for a long stretch, he swings back around to the other question first.
"Tell ya the truth, Blondie, I don't remember the last time I was real damn happy. Can't even figure out what would get me there."
