[ Honestly Rey could kiss him for that conclusion because if she had to do another round of Keith's new mixtape, the title of which is 'He acts like you don't matter at all,' she'd probably scream. Repeatedly. Instead, something kind of … unclenches, in her chest.
And she realizes it's not Finn being like fuck this crazy girl who falls in love with serial killers in prison that she has feared, but rather the chaotic hellscape of other people delegitimizing this Thing she can't articulate or describe. Finn, being the perfect human being that he is, sidesteps it all in one fell swoop. One well-reasoned conclusion.
It assuages her primarily because it's obviously rooted not in 'Kylo Ren has the capacity to love another human being,' which Finn is probably still processing, but rather on the premise that 'Rey is someone worth loving.'
It's fine. She has zero self worth issues after being sold into scavenger slavery. This would be revolutionary to anyone … right? ]

[ And she can answer it honestly because she's sure. As sure of it as she is of her own feelings and of the fact that the sun makes the sand warm. There's been a lot of back-and-forth, and they have lots more push-and-pull to go before they understand how to deal with those feelings while being so opposite despite being so similar, but that question is easily answered.
She opens her mouth with some further justification or explanation or — well, she's not sure what. But ultimately she shuts her mouth and bites her tongue because the whole point of telling Finn is giving him the chance to Have Feelings about it. ]
