She IS angry, when he says his only concern was her safety, but his hand on her chest and his words after help deflate that anger.
"I'm glad you know better now," she says at last, voice still jagged with unshed tears. "That you would not jump so recklessly, value yourself so little."
She kisses that spot on his neck again. "I will check, once you are clean and dry, since you wish it."
She may be plotting to spoil him in EVERY way she can, tonight. A kind of tonic against that cruel memory.
