She didn't expect to but she misses his touch when it's gone, finds herself wishing for an excuse that would make him put his hands back on her, and that's such a stark difference from how she usually feels about being touched that she isn't exactly sure what to do with feeling like that.
He speaks, though, and that gives her something else to think about. Of course what she thinks about is the fact that Tommy has asked her to spend more time with him with her shirt off and that's so absurd but the reason is so logical that she can't help smiling a little.
"Thank you, Tommy," she says as she turns just enough to look at him over her shoulder. It's the unbruised side of her face, no purple and blue to distract from the way her expression is more open, there's no pain there anymore, and she's still smiling at him. "That feels much better. I hadn't... Well, it hurt more than I realized."
She doesn't love admitting he was right that she needed more than just healing on her own, but it's not terrible either.
