I’m glad it worked out. [It doesn’t sound like it would live up to his expectations of something ‘worked out’, but he doesn’t want to challenge her on that. If it’s good enough for her that’s probably all that matters, right?]
Sorry I dragged all that stuff up, by the way, I didn’t mean to. [Really, it’d been quite a surprise.] But thanks for sharing it with me.
[And he really does mean that; it can’t have been easy. She’s shown him a lot of trust (who knows how many other people she’s talked to about this), and he appreciates that. God knows he’ll try his hardest never to betray that trust.]
You’ve told me so much about yourself, I feel like you should get a freebie to ask me a super personal question or something. Level the playing field, or whatever. [He half forces a bit of laughter. He is sort of joking, but on the other hand he wouldn’t mind Tara taking him up on that, show that the trust goes both ways.]
