Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The greeting combines familiarity with a direct compliment. 'You know' presents the attraction as something Brad already recognises, while 'always' gives it a history. The casual phrasing makes the admission sound relaxed and flirtatious rather than like a formal declaration.
