I couldn't tell if she was responding to him as an individual or to the new possibilities he seemed to open up for her, but her body language certainly seemed to convey love. I thought the moment when she was contemplating the flower was really divine and was Cleo at her most unguarded and genuine.
His giving her a flower was one of the most touching moments of the film. I know I've seen movies where romance played out in a much grander and/or intimate fashion, and it reminds me that less can be more. A simple gesture can fill in the blanks.
I was very surprised that she told him her real name. No one that we saw up to that point had been calling her Florence.
I also thought it was fantastic when she asked for his address. I assume she is generally the coy girl being chased by the boy, so that really made me smile.

It started out as a game, then they saw possibilities in each other, then something deeper happened.
And he seemed to reach each stage before her. When she started to fall for him, he was already waiting for it.
