confidingly
In trusting whispers
Confidingly describes doing something in a trusting, confiding manner—sharing secrets or private thoughts as though certain of the listener's discretion: She leaned in and spoke confidingly about her troubles.
The word suggests intimacy and vulnerability, the tone of someone lowering their guard.
