[ Although she's never made it clear just how much he means to her--how his friendship kept her from a life of isolation and perpetual grief, how moving beyond that friendship made her feel alive again--she's always hoped that her actions would speak louder than words. When she realized he had been taken, she all but tore through the galaxy to try and get him back, and she would do it again and again until Yondu would get tired and leave Peter alone. And she realizes that's an unlikely scenario, but that won't stop her.
She would do that, and she stays because he's the greatest thing she's found in this galaxy since Keiji died, since the crew of the SR-2 was forced to split up. Because he gave her a reason to fight instead of throwing her hands up in the air and letting the Reapers take what they want and, as Peter might say, she's one of the idiots that lives in this galaxy--a galaxy that's worth saving if it meant she could be with him.
When she feels his hand take hold of hers, she gives it a squeeze back, looks into his eyes as he speaks, and finds herself affected by the way he speaks. ]
There's nowhere else I'd rather be, Peter.
[ She hopes he'll understand that she really does mean it, that even though she gets called away doesn't change the fact that she'd still rather stay with him. ]
