Well we want people to be there for us and love us so when someone comes around and you really like them, even if you haven’t known them for long you want them to be there for you, it feels good to have friends and/or people that will be there for you to talk and love you.
Likewise
In like manner
In the same way
By the same token
In similar fashion etc...
Hope this helped

Usually the exposition is where you meet the character and get introduced to the problem.
Rapid, dart, speedy, zoom, dash, hurry
