Lucy has been in love with Charlie for a very long time
Everytime they are together, she whispers the word "love" over and over again at a level that is barely audible. Although Charlie never remembers hearing the message, Lucy is convinced that she is getting through to him. Should Lucy be so optimistic?

C) Maybe; if Lucy breaks through to a deeper level of consciousness, she can convince Charlie to fall in love.
