Even if she's pissed off, you know that won't be forever. Time'll heal things over and whatever - if anything - is lost, you can salvage something from it. You just won't know until you try. Even if it doesn't work out the way it could've, you can still have a friendship there. Or you can get defeated by both of those options and lose that, and - you know I'll be disappointed if you let that happen, right?
[She leans and plants a light, motherly kiss on his cheek.] You're a good man. You deserve your chances and you gotta take 'em.
