Once she was safely inside and out of the way she turned to look at him again, shoving her hands into her pockets. "Just kidding, though. I just like seeing that you're well."

I seem to recall having really begged that you take a nice, horny lady into your life." She was joking again, mostly. Her mouth was quirked as she tried to fight off a smirk.
