What do I do with that?

Yesterday one of my students was slightly acting up in class. I had her move seats. After the class I asked her to come over and talk with me. She came over to me with great hesitation. I said, "You were a little naughty today!". She seemed so afraid...was she worried I would beat her (more about this another time)? I said, "Don't worry, it is OK". Finally she came out with it, "but I love you Steve". Not the response I was expecting. Being a trained professional, I mumbled incoherently and walked away.
