"Y-you're right." See this face waitress lady? It's firmly ignoring you as you set the pizzas down on the table. "I'm overreacting. It'll be fine." That's not a lie, because she didn't say she was fine. She knows she's not. "Just have to work through it."
She's trying hard not to sway to the other end of the spectrum, to completely withdraw and put on a happy facade. No smiling, but she does give Verity a nod before grabbing a slice of her pizza. Her stomach is telling her not to eat it right now, so she'll wait a minute for it to "cool down" before she tries it.
"I'm sorry."
She's going to get used to saying that phrase a lot from here on out.
