Explanation:

Below are some of the evidences that show how Dr. Patterson felt about jer relationship with Koko:

​Patterson: She actually wasn't told that he passed away. I was with her and we started getting phone calls when the news broke. She was right next to me and could hear the conversation and knew that something was wrong. She asked me to tell her what it was. So I did. It was upsetting to everybody.

​Patterson: Certainly. I realized that when she tears a page out of a magazine or a book, it’s not trash. It’s meaningful. She wants us to see it. Plus, she also uses some cards we gave her [with objects printed on them] when she has something to say. I remember one Valentine's Day, she had some cards out waiting for me that stated pretty clearly “Where are the goodies?”

The above excerpt reveal that Dr. Patterson and Koko are intimate and could sit down to have conversations together.

In Morrin interview with Dr. Patterson, it was discovered that Koko can gesticulate with Dr. Patterson.
