[ How did this girl put up with Terrance if that was all it had taken to make her feel bad? ]

You didn't. I've got the mouthiest kid on the planet working for me and you're worried?

[ He leaned into her line of sight. ]

I have thick skin. Trust me. It isn't like you said something horrible. It's good. I'm good. Are you good? I'm gonna dare to hope for a yes since he's gonna be pretty pissed if he comes back and knows I made you look sad.
