She's only one person, but that doesn't keep her from being one person's world. Later in both their futures, Tobias will try to explain to her that sacrifice isn't always selfless. Sometimes being selfless is doing the thing that is painful, the thing that you most don't want to do. He would appreciate it very much if she stuck around for a little while, until they're both far too old to be in Dauntless.
He can't help put be afraid of her on the edge. Yes, he's projecting his fear onto her when he knows she's not afraid of heights, but he can't help it. Yes. He wants her to step away and it is an act of willpower not to reach out and grab her, pull her closer.
"I couldn't help but keep track," he confesses. He'd hated every single one of those days. Even when her lips quirk upward he's not certain what she's thinking, not certain whether what he's said is okay or not until she steps toward him, until her hand is against his cheek. He closes his eyes and wraps his arms around her waist.
"You could be a very realistic simulation," he tells her with the ghost of a grin on his face. "I'd say a dream, but my dreams have never been this good."
