"I don't know... I mean, like I've said before, I've never really done anything like that, so there's a chance I might disappoint you, Darling," she said, sounding genuinely uncertain about whether she could live up to what I was asking from her.
"I don't think you will," I told her. "There's nothing you could do that would make me disappointed in you. If you've done something that makes you think I'm going to be disappointed, then it's something you don't need to keep worrying about. You don't have to sit there thinking about every possible way things could go wrong before you've even tried. Of course, you might think that means I have absolutely no expectations of you, but that's not what I'm saying. I'm telling you that it'll be alright, and if there's something you genuinely can't do on your own, then I'll help you with it instead of expecting you to figure everything out by yourself."
