Billie is then asked what makes her happy in a relationship and she explains: "My love language is physical touch. I need to be touching skin all the time, touching and cuddling and hugging and anything skin related is a big thing for me."

Referencing Jesse again, Billie says: "I'm just really inspired by this person and he's inspired by me. It's really cool."
