The soft voice seems to do the trick and she shakes off the sadness with a forced smile, laughing at how stupid and silly she's being. Hahaha, what a silly thing, having FEELINGS and shit. That's just weird. "It's okay. I'm fine."
She's not fine, but she's going to eat the rest of her cookie and maybe the chocolate chips will help her go back to pretending everything's fine so she can carry on a conversation with the nice man like a normal person. He's actually making an effort here, she can't fault him for that. She can't fault him for anything, really.
"You've been... really sweet. Like, legit trying to help me and stuff. So... thanks."
