It felt as though they were dancing around a subject, and given the only subject that was currently on Rey's mind, she thought it was only becoming more and more obvious what that was. So his words made it sound as though he was thinking of the gentlest way to turn her down - why else would he call her "very sweet?" Even Rey knew that that was just a nice way of telling someone to stop being interested because it wasn't reciprocated.

But that was fine. If they were only going to talk about this tangentially, she'd accept the idea of him turning her away. At least it meant she wouldn't have to come out and say anything.

That made it a little bit easier for her to smile at him as she lightly mentioned, "If you don't leave this island, I don't leave this island. So again, you're just going to end up stuck with me for an even longer period of time. I don't mind that, but...."

But he was making it clear that he would, or at least that he eventually might.
