[ It's very easy for Andy to just wrap an arm around her and let her lean in. Really, all he needed to know about Faith to trust her implicitly is that she's with Ben, that's the bottom line. She trusts Ben, Ben trusts her, so Andy's all for doing his best. ]
It's not like meeting a younger version of someone who's your friend now but you hurt before is a thing people are taught how to deal with. Maybe you should've told her, but you couldn't have known if she'd remember, or how much she'd remember, or even if her version of you was actually you.
You didn't want to hurt her. And I think that makes a lot of sense, you can take responsibility for the hurt you caused before, but the hurt going on right now isn't on you.
