Alright okay Lestat Narrator, good for Louis, let's not get carried away here.
Love was never in question, anyway. Not even when Louis was screaming about Lestat's tacky frailty at a tape recorder in 1973.
Softly,
"I'm glad for that, too."
Glad that they're talking. That they have space for the truth. That Lestat wishes for happiness. None of the rest has to matter (even though it does, critically). Daniel can support it while remaining aware. Rooting for them, and the anger management therapy they both probably need. Abuse is a monster (like memory, like love), but they all choose which ones to live with.
There's no way for him to say Hurt Louis again and I'll hurt you, because it's stupid. He can't. Even if he could, it's not his style. So he tries for this. He sees it and he wants it to be good.
