This is a rhetorical question... the speaker just saw something that made him realize for the first time that the person he's addressing actually cares about this girl, which is a complete surprise: [A guy walks into his brother's apartment and finds him packing] A: What are you doing? Where are you going??? B: I need to get Claudia out of town... Her ex is out of prison and she's so scared she doesn't even want to go to work. She thinks she spotted him looking at her from behind a column at the bank this morning. A: Hold on a moment... who's Claudia? You mean that girl you met at the fair last month? I thought you guys went out a couple of times and that was it. You're still seeing her? [B turns around, visibly shaken, his eyes brimming with tears] Danny, I don't know what I'll do if anything happens to her... [A puts his hand on his brother's shoulder and looks him in the eye] You really CARE about her, don't you...😳 I had no idea. Let's figure this out - I don't want you to leave.
