The short answer

If the purpose of the conversation is to make her remove your uncertainty, it will probably feel like pressure. Pause until you can speak clearly without demanding a particular response.

More words do not create more capacity.

You may have a better explanation, a more sincere apology, or a stronger promise. But if she has already asked for space, the additional conversation can ask her to carry your urgency on top of her own experience.

Check the hidden job of the conversation.

  • Am I asking for information—or reassurance?
  • Has she agreed to this conversation now?
  • Can I hear an answer I do not want?
  • Have I already made this point?
  • Will my behaviour still change if she gives me no credit for it?
A quiet room after a difficult conversation
Silence can feel unbearable without automatically being a problem to fill.

Prepare a conversation that has an exit.

Ask whether she is willing to talk. Name one subject. Keep the promise about length. Listen without preparing the rebuttal. If either person becomes flooded, agree on when—or whether—to return.

Let behaviour carry some of the message.

Some statements cannot become credible until the matching behaviour has existed for long enough. This is not avoidance. It is refusing to make language do a job that only time and consistency can do.
