she slaps herself lightly a couple of times, telling her everything's fine and it's not like she saw anything. so it's still good. it's not like it would ruin their relationship or anything. or make things worse. or. or. something...

[ to the point that her jaw almost drops.
she takes the bag, though, but doesn't open it or look inside at first. she's still looking at him. ]
