[ She could have guessed that he was going to try to think of something to say anyways, part of why she kissed him as soon as the gag was gone, because she doesn't think he's actually ready to say anything yet, would be saying things for the sake of saying them and that's not necessary. She doesn't need to hear anything from him until he actually wants to say it. The rest of her reason for kissing him is simply because she wants to, badly, wants to feel them together in some respect, the way their mouths fit together and how he pushes back against her. He's giving back, there, and she's not entirely sure what it is he's saying but she knows that she likes it.
There is no way she's going to leave him right now, not until he either asks her to or she is certainly that leaving wouldn't harm any of the progress she thinks she's finally made. There's a thoroughness to the press of her mouth that means this kiss can go on as long as it takes for him to think of what he wants next. Anyways, she's not thinking very far ahead right now either. Most of her attention is fixed on him and the way he feels beneath her and the faint feeling of okay-ness she's getting from him. That's all she wants, really. Him to be okay. ]
that is for sure
