Fine.
I have never met a droid who has fallen in love with someone, but I would consider it possible. Programming can be similar to a human's "reward pathway" if said droid has enough awareness. Doing tasks that fulfill one's programming is "good." If one's programming involves specific loyalty to a person, then they can interpret that perpetuating the happiness of who they're loyal to as still falling under loyalty protocols. If you want happiness for someone, isn't that a form of love?
[And because he can predict what her next few questions might be-]
